Uniform
We have a clear uniform policy and expect students to wear this with pride every day. We take following our uniform policy seriously because what we look like matters and we have high standards in everything that we do.
We, of course, want students to wear their uniform proudly. We want to develop a sense of belonging which is so important in building communities.
Uniformity of dress is very important to us, as it levels the playing field for everyone. Attention can be focused on character and education, as it should be. We want students to be individual through their character, their opinions and their intelligence, not defined by their background or their choice in fashion.
