Uniform
We kindly ask for your support in speaking with your child about the importance of maintaining high standards for our school uniform. Please ensure they leave for school each morning in full uniform, which includes wearing a blazer, keeping shirts tucked in, wearing smart black school shoes, and avoiding wearing white socks over tights.

If you are ever unsure of the specific uniform requirements, please refer to the detailed guidelines available on our school website. Your cooperation in helping us maintain a smart, proud, and consistent school environment is greatly appreciated.
