School Uniform

Prep & Senior School Uniform

School uniform is an important aspect of the school, and helps to ensure high standards in everything we do.  All students are expected to wear and take pride in the correct school uniform along with presenting themselves in the most appropriate way for their activities during the school day.

On days where they have a sports afternoon, students should arrive at school in their sports kit in order to alleviate the need to change.  However, on all other days, full school uniform should be worn – if there is any need to change into their sports kit during the course of this day, students should change back again afterwards.

• General – all students are expected to wear white shirts (long or short sleeved), school tie and, if in senior school, a school blazer.  A school jumper/cardigan under the blazer is optional in cold weather.  Boys should wear grey trousers or shorts with grey socks.  Girls should wear a school skirt (worn on or below the knee) along with white ankle socks or navy tights in the winter).  Shirts should always be tucked into trousers/skirts, collars fastened, and ties done up to the neck.
• Coats – School coats (available from the school) are allowed to be worn in the cold weather.  For senior students the coat is in addition to (not instead of) the blazer.
• Shoes – these should be black leather, and not trainer like or casual in appearance.  Sandals, ‘sliders’ or ‘sling-backs’ should not be used, and heels should be no higher than one inch.  All shoes should be cleaned regularly.
• Hair – Hairstyles should be sensible and not extreme.  The colour must not be dyed outside of that which is natural, and shouldn’t include any streaks or highlights.   Any hair accessories (such as braids) should be minimal.  Long hair should be tied up with appropriate bands or grips.  All student faces should be clean shaven.
• Nails – these must be of a safe/appropriate length and not coloured.
• Jewellery – students are allowed to have one piercing in each ear lobe – these are limited to small studs.  Boys are not permitted to wear earrings.  Rings and bracelets should not be worn, whereas necklaces should be kept out of view behind the shirt.
• Make-up – students may wear a small amount of make-up such as mascara and eye shadow provided that it is subtle and inconspicuous.

Where required, the school reserves the right to make judgements about inappropriate presentation and uniform, and will take appropriate action to find a prompt solution.  Parents should communicate with Lead Teachers when problems with uniform arise.
