Uniform

Our Expectations

There is a clear expectation that all students will have the highest standards of personal presentation and they will wear their uniform with pride. It must be worn correctly throughout the school day. From time to time there will be special school events and activities when it will be a requirement for students to wear uniform e.g. School trips out of school, sporting events (PE kits). When in uniform students are seen as ambassadors of the school and are expected to follow the school Code of Conduct at all times.

There is no expectation that pupils wear uniform with the school logo attached

One of the responsibilities of parents/carers is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit. It is expected that it is clean and in good repair.

• Grey/navy/black school trousers
