Uniforms
The Abbey School adheres to a uniform policy for all pupils up to and including the Fifth Form (Year 11), which we believe unites the school and engenders a sense of identity and community. The main uniform colour is green.
Girls are identified through their Abbey School career with variations on their uniform.

From September 2008 Lower Five girls are to wear a black jacket. The jackets can be purchased from Len Smith’s and the present Upper Four and current Lower Fives, if they wish, will be allowed to wear them during the Summer Term 2008.
Girls in the Fifth Form (Years 10 & 11) are given additional seniority status with a change to black tights and a black pullover.
The Sixth Form students do not wear uniform but we request that they dress smartly and appropriately for their working environment and with due regard to their status as the senior members of the school. Our students have chosen to adopt a dress code for smart or formal occasions of a black skirt or trousers and a smart plain white shirt.
Specific uniform is also required for games, sport and other physical activity and overalls for science, art and food technology. Details are available from the school office.
All uniform is available from Len Smith's Ltd, the school outfitter who operates from within the school, open every Monday afternoon during term time (21 Kendrick Road, Reading), by mail order or at thier shop in Twickenham.
Second-hand Uniform
The Abbey School Parents' Association runs a second-hand uniform shop with the aim of selling only good quality current uniform. If the item is "good as new" about 50% of the new price is charged. The shop is open every Monday afternoon during term time. (21 Kendrick Road, Reading).
