Uniform

24th June Uniform Letter

School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the tone and ethos of our school. It helps  to promote a sense of equality amongst our diverse community of students and the understanding of the formal nature of the environment. The wearing of uniform helps to instill pride in our school, a spirit of togetherness and an atmosphere in which successful learning can flourish.

It is important that all items of clothing and other equipment are clearly marked with the students' names.
