All year groups will have their own specific-coloured tie.  The tie is black with two coloured stripes and has a Velcro attachment.  The colours for each year group, from September, are as follows:

Year 7 – Silver
Year 8 – Green
Year 9 – Yellow
Year 10 – Red
Year 11 – Blue

The same colour is worn throughout your child’s time at Bedford, so a new Year 7 starting in September will always wear a green tie, up to Year 11.

There are also changes to the PE kit.
