Uniform
School Uniform
Uniform is a way of public recognition for the school and, as such, it should be worn with pride. The school has an established set of rules outlined below and makes great efforts to uphold the dress code. Uniform is not fashion-orientated and, should individual items of clothing be deemed inappropriate, we will contact parents/carers.
Full school uniform must be worn to and from school. Our uniform helps to maintain our excellent reputation. It is essential that all school uniform and equipment be clearly labelled with your child’s name. If any item of uniform is lost or damaged, please notify the school office. The item should be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
School Uniform and PE Kit can be purchased from our supplier School Sports4U
