Uniform

It is our policy that all students wear uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. Our uniform policy is based on the notion that school uniform:

  • promotes a sense of pride in the school
  • engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school
  • is practical and smart
  • identifies the students with the school
  • is fair and makes students feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance and removes peer pressure to dress in ‘designer’ fashions
  • is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents/carers
  • can assist identification of strangers on school premises
  • is designed with health and safety in mind

For more information about our Uniform Policy, please visit the policies section of our website.

Uniform Requirements

  • Blazer – black, single-breasted blazer with the school badge
  • White shirt – long or short-sleeved, with pointed collar. Shirts must be tucked in at all times.
  • School clip-on tie
  • Pullover – v-necked and black
  • Plain black shoes – Trainers and boots are not acceptable. Shoes must be practical and formal, not fashion items.
  • School tartan skirt or black trousers – Skirts and trousers must be practical and formal, not fashion items.
