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. We are dedicated to eradicating fashionable trends, such as having expensive or big belts, socks over tights, and piercings, to name a few. In some cases, these can seem minor, but it is worth reminding ourselves that the purpose of uniform is to remove hierarchy, difference and status.
Uniformity of dress is very important to us, as it levels the playing field for everyone. No one looks cooler, richer, trendier or more rebellious than anyone else, then the 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.
