Sportswear
We are delighted to have been working with Kukri Sports as our main sport and teamwear supplier since September 2010. Our agreement with them was reached following a lengthy tendering process involving many of the leading teamwear suppliers in the UK, and should ensure that our pupils look smart, feel prepared and professional from training pitch to fixtures. Shrewsbury School Kukri sportswear is available in the School Shop.
 
Salopians are expected to dress at all times with modesty and due consideration for others; at no time should they wear clothing or accessories which are extravagant, undignified or offensive in style. The final arbiters on clothing and appearance at School are the Headmaster, Second Master and Housemasters.
