School Uniform

Our uniform reflects the school's tradition and innovation of which we are so proud. We believe that by encouraging our students to dress smartly for school, we are building on the standards, discipline and professionalism that they will require in the competitive world of work.

School uniform plays a vital role in contributing to the ethos of the school and setting the appropriate tone and we want all our students to be proud of their uniform and also to have a say in how it is designed. The design of the current uniform was proposed by the School Council.
