Uniform
It is important for all students to come to school dressed smartly. We feel that it gives students a sense of well-being and enables them to identify readily with our school. If you have any queries please contact school general enquiries.

- Students who journey to and from school by bicycle are expected to wear a cycle helmet.
- All students are expected to arrive at and leave school in school uniform.
