Right Gear! - Uniform and Equipment

►The School Uniform

► promotes a sense of belonging and commitment to the school community;

► eliminates unnecessary, unhealthy and costly competition between fashion-conscious pupils;

► safeguards health and safety.

 

enhances the reputation of the school in the wider community.


In establishing our uniform we have consulted with parents and pupils and given due regard to cost. We review the policy on an annual basis.

 

We respectfully point out that an application for admission to the school is understood to imply an acceptance by both parent and pupil of the requirement to wear uniform. The school will refuse to admit pupils who persistently fail to do so.
