School Uniform
The school's aim is to provide a uniform which is smart and functional. The uniform has changed for September 2014 and the new uniform (as detailed below) must be worn by all pupils coming into Year 7. All pupils in Years 8 – 11 may continue to wear their existing uniform until it needs replacing. It must then be replaced by the new uniform.
