Among the more unusual items were a reversible cape (only obtainable from Musgroves!) and, of course, the traditional beret. There was also the work bag with a reel of tacking cotton and assorted needles! Everything must be named! 

While much has changed in the way pupils dress over the years, one element has stood the test of time—the iconic Windermere blazer. It remains as recognisable today as it was to generations of Stannites before.

For many, uniform is more than just clothing—it is part of the shared experience that binds us together across time. We’d love to hear your memories of wearing the cape, the beret, or indeed the blazer. Did you take pride in it, rebel against it, or perhaps personalise it in some way?

Please do get in touch and share your stories—we’d be delighted to include some in future newsletters.
