School Uniform
The wearing of the correct uniform while travelling to and from school and during the school day is very important to us. We feel that it sets the standard in terms of high expectations, and a purposeful attitude towards work while promoting the school and our ethos. We rely very much on the co-operation of students and parents in helping us to set and maintain high standards of dress and appearance. Please visit our Policies page to view our Uniform Policy.
To ensure consistency and clarity, parents will be offered two recognised suppliers for purchasing some items of uniform.
- SPORTSWEAR INTERNATIONAL (SWI) - for all badged items of uniform; blazers, PE kit, trousers, skirts, blouses and shirts.
