School Uniform

All Pupils Must Wear Full School Uniform 

The Governors have approved the uniform to be worn and parents are asked to co-operate by providing the items listed overleaf and insisting upon their children being properly dressed. This is of vital importance and a crucial bearing on the tone and general discipline of a school. Above all, it shows everyone that all pupils are part of our community.

For the latest school uniform and appearance policy and information, please see the policies section of our website.
