Our Uniform

Our school uniform includes a range of clothing, including footwear and headwear. It identifies students as belonging to our school. We expect students to wear the uniform during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when engaged in school activities.

Uniform differs throughout the school to reflect the growing maturity and changing needs of children and young adults of different ages.  At the upper end of the school, we ask our IB students to follow a business dress code, rather than wear a fixed uniform, as this helps to prepare them for life beyond school.

To come into line with our new branding, we have this year updated the logo which appears on uniform articles, replaced several items altogether, and introduced many new items.  Note that we have made a conscious effort to improve the quality of clothing and to accommodate students' and parents' wishes with regard to colour and design whilst at the same time introducing as few changes as possible in order to eliminate the cost factor associated with unnecessary changes.  Please do note that both old and new uniform styles will be fully acceptable for a period of one year from August 2010 until July 2011.  

The School Shop is not yet fully stocked.  With the colder weather approaching, all children must be warmly dressed.  If a uniform article is not yet available, students will not be penalised for wearing their own clothing.  We request only that students are suitably and modestly dressed at all times.

Order forms are interactive and may be completed and emailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Payment, in a sealed envelope and clearly marked with your child's name and year group, should then be sent to the School Shop. 

The School Shop is located in the Main Reception area.  Opening hours are 8.30am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday (closed for lunch between 1pm - 2pm and public holidays).
