UNIFORM, SPORTSWEAR AND EQUIPMENT
Students in Years 7 - 11 are required to wear school uniform at all times. Parents are asked to work with us in ensuring that their children are properly equipped.
We want all our students to be smartly and sensibly dressed. As fashion trends come and go, youngsters may try to pressurise parents into buying inappropriate items of uniform. The correct uniform is listed below:

Notes
1 Students should not bring more money into school than they could reasonably need for food, drink and travel.
2 No jewellery is permitted apart from one small stud in each ear. We require that any other body piercing is removed for the school day.
3 Whilst the school actively discourages the wearing of make-up, Upper School girls will be allowed to wear light make-up.
4 Expensive items of clothing should not be worn or brought into school.
5 Please ensure that all items are clearly named in case things go missing.
6 Uniform regulations apply to the journey to and from school.
7 Students must bring a school bag which is appropriate for carrying A4 books, stationery, sportswear and other necessary equipment. Handbags are not suitable.
Uniform regulations apply to the journey to and from school and also identify acceptable outdoor clothing - ‘hoodies’, denim or leather jackets are not acceptable.
All clothing and personal property should be clearly named.
Extreme hairstyles are not permitted.
The only jewellery permitted in school is one pair of small stud earrings. All rings, other jewellery and any visible piercings should be removed.
Whilst the school actively discourages the wearing of make-up, Upper School girls are allowed to wear light make-up.
Lockers are available for all students by arrangement with the School Office.
PHONES AND VALUABLE ITEMS
Valuable items such as iPods and MP3 players may only be brought into Upper School and only where the technology offered by the device is felt to be beneficial to the lesson. Mobile phones must be switched off in school unless being used as an integral part of a lesson under the instruction of a teacher; they may not otherwise be used during school hours.
Please note that as these and other valuable items are not essential to the school’s curriculum we are not prepared to take any responsibility for their security – such responsibility rests with the student and parent.
