Uniform

It is important that all students wear the correct academic uniform each day, including black leather shoes without logos. The PE uniform should only be worn on days when students are timetabled to have PE.

If a student is unable to wear the correct uniform for any reason, a note from a parent or guardian must be provided, or a phone call made to the school explaining the reason for the uniform issue.

If families require assistance with accessing the correct uniform, please contact the Wellbeing Team for support. The school’s uniform policy can be found in the student diary or on the school website. If you are unsure about any uniform requirements, please speak with a member of the Coordination Team.

Class Equipment

Students are expected to arrive at every lesson with the correct equipment and should not need to return to their lockers during class time or between lessons.

Students must bring the following items to every class:

  • A pencil case containing pens and pencils
  • Their student diary
  • An exercise book
  • Their device

If students experience any difficulties accessing the required equipment, please contact the Junior Sub School for assistance.
