Uniforms and PE Kit
Students must wear the correct school uniform at all times. We believe it contributes to a positive learning environment
All students in Years 7 to 11 are expected to wear the school uniform with pride. Girls’ trousers are no longer required to be bought from our uniform outfitters, however, they must be school trousers. Leggings, skinny trousers or jeans will not be allowed. Any student wearing the incorrect uniform will be challenged and offered alternative items to wear if we have them available or we will contact you to ask you to bring in the correct uniform for your son/daughter to wear. Students who refuse to wear or adjust their uniform may be sent to our Referral Room.
Sweatshirts, sweaters and polo shirts are available for purchase from our preferred suppliers – see below.
Year 7 - 11: No outdoor clothing will be allowed inside the main building. Students must remove coats before they come into the building. This is a school rule and should be adhered to at all times. Students failing to do so will receive a sanction.
Footwear
Please see examples of acceptable and unacceptable footwear below. Boots are not allowed to be worn. Students wearing incorrect footwear will be required to change into spare school shoes unless they have a medical note from a Doctor/GP.
