School Uniform

We expect our students to take pride in their appearance and we believe that the wearing of school uniform fosters a sense of identity. If students attend school inappropriately dressed their parents/carers will be contacted. Students are not allowed to attend lessons out of uniform.

See the sections below to find out more about our uniform policy.
