Clarification of some uniform issues
We appreciate the help and support you are giving us in helping to keep
uniform neat and tidy. Some areas are giving concern, and need to be clarified:
Approved school shoes are black, leather lace-up shoes.
If students have PE in the course of the day, they need to carry their sports shoes
separately.
Girls may wear the uniform grey trousers available from the uniform
shop. Other makes and styles are not allowed.
Students may wear either the school polo shirt, or a formal
long-sleeved whie shirt with collar and school tie.
