Year teachers have responsibility for school uniform and they would appreciate your co-operation. Financial assistance with school uniform is available in certain circumstances. Application forms can be obtained from the school General Office. Denims, [jackets/trousers] are not acceptable.
We retain the right to remove such jackets for the remainder of the term and to send home offenders regarding denim trousers. The wearing of training shoes should be reserved only for use in Physical Education classes. When buying outdoor coats please ensure that they are plain navy. With blazers, light nylon jackets are suitable in the warmer weather. An outdoor coat with the school badge is available from retailers of our uniform.
We have always been an excellent uniformed school and we would ask parents to continue to support us in this matter. Reflective arm bands are an advisable safety measure. In addition special clothing will be required for the following subjects:
