Uniform


Our school aim is to have all students wear full school uniform to develop a feeling of pride in belonging to the school and to promote safety, equity and cancer protection policies.  The majority of students want to look good and are proud of our school.  On special occasions and for special events, there are 30 School Blazers and ties for students to borrow.

Failure to wear uniform on 5 separate occasions will lead to a lunchtime detention, 10 separate occasions to 3 lunchtime detentions and after 15 separate occasions, you are not permitted to take part in any extra-curricula activities not related to course curricula.
