Our school uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school, and promotes a strong, cohesive school identity, supporting the high standards we aspire to. It gives our students a sense of identity. Students in Years 7 – 11 are required to wear a school uniform at all times. We hope that parents will understand the reasons for our school uniform and support us.
A uniform also helps prepare our students for the world of work, ‘dressed for business’; the business being that of learning. Also, a uniform reduces socio-economic
differences and instances of bullying based on appearance.
The following items are not permitted under any circumstances
* Hoodies
* Canvas shoes/pumps or logoed shoes/trainers. The school has the final decision over the suitability of footwear.
