Uniform

The wearing of school uniform makes an important contribution to the tone and reputation of a school, and is therefore compulsory for all students in years 7 to 11. Sixth Form are expected to dress in a manner appropriate to our working environment. It is recognized that senior students have more scope to be individual in their dress. However, it is expected that they are not scruffy, and do not dress in a way which distracts them or others from their work. The school takes pride in the appearance of its students and we are grateful for the continued co-operation of parents in maintaining high standards.
