Uniform & Appearance – Our Expectations
Students are expected to present themselves correctly and tidily at all times both in school and on the way to and from school or when involved in off-site visits. This not only helps to maintain the high standards of the school, but also is good training for later life.
There are separate guidelines on dress code for students in the 6th Form available on application to the school. If parents / carers are unsure about whether an item of uniform is suitable for school they should visit our website or contact us directly prior to purchasing.
- Blazers – This must be the school blazer (black with red braiding and school badge) purchased from Torre Sports / Pro-direct Sport. These must be worn at all times except if involved in physical activity on the field or on the yards during lunch and morning break when they can be removed if desired. If a student wishes to take his or her blazer off during a lesson then he/she should ask the teacher. A black V-neck jumper (not sweatshirt) may be worn under the blazer.
