UNIFORM

The way in which the uniform is worn indicates whether a learner has pride both in the school and in himself/herself. Learners must adhere strictly to the dress code at all times. Incorrect items of clothing (that can be removed) will be confiscated and returned at the end of term.

All learners are expected to have the correct school uniform and we place great importance in clean, neat uniforms.  This includes the correct shoes which should be polished regularly.
