We believe that wearing uniform helps to create a sense of identity and community in school. Our uniform is smart, practical, comfortable and inclusive and we expect pupils to wear it with pride when at school, on journeys between home and school, and especially when representing the school on visits and fixtures.
Pupils who do not meet our expectations about uniform will be asked to change and non-compliance will usually be sanctioned. Our MVC Uniform guidance is on the left hand side of the page.
Please note that school-branded items should be purchased from our school supplier Schoolyard of Royston. Please visit the Melbourn Village College section of their website to see more information and prices.
Non-branded uniform items can either be purchased through our uniform suppliers or from a high street shop or supermarket.
