Uniform
We are a school with high expectations and this is reflected in our uniform policy. Families tell us that our expectations and reputation are something they value about the school. Students are ambassadors for our school community.
We ask that families support us by exercising careful judgement in matters of uniform and that you check any potential purchases which might prove to be controversial with us before you make them.
Correct uniform is to be worn at all times, including the journey to and from school.
This poster is shared with all students and displayed in form rooms. Please see below for further details and examples.

If needed, they will be provided with the support and equipment to enable them to meet the expectations (eg. access to nail files, nail clippers, make-up remover wipes, spare uniform items).
