As best we can tell the school did not have a uniform. The boys apparently were required to wear suits and ties. We notice the boys wearing both knickers and long pants. The older boys in a 1885 photograph wearing long pants. A photograph from 1925 shows boys wearing knickers (figure 1). Note the period touring car. Here
we see a group of Holderness boys ready to greet a new arrival to the
school. Most of the boys seem to be wearing rather tightly fitting knickers, but
the boy at the extreme right wears knee pants and long black stockings. These look to be some of the younger boys. They
seem to be about 15 or 16 years old. I don't think there was a school policy about this, although we have no definitive information on this. Probably this was up to the boys and their parents to decide.
