Uniform
We at Lipson Cooperative Academy believe that our school uniform should be worn with pride. It gives a sense of belonging and stops students coming to school in clothes which are unsuitable.
Our uniform supplier is Plymouth Schoolwear located on Mayflower Street, Plymouth.
Plymouth Schoolwear are open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm every week, which gives plenty of time to purchase uniform ready for September.
Plymouth Schoolwear have created an online shop for parents and carers who would prefer this method. Items can be delivered direct to your home (+ delivery fee) or collected in store. They cannot be delivered to the school.
