YEARS 7-11 UNIFORM
The school has a uniform and all students and parents/carers are expected to fully support it.
Parents/carers are responsible for ensuring that students arrive at school properly dressed in full
school uniform. Students are greeted on arrival at school each morning by staff on duty and if
they are not in the correct uniform this will be challenged and parents/carers contacted.
The school enforces its uniform policy with rigour and supports the majority of students who
always adhere to the uniform code by acknowledging their high standard of dress through the
school’s reward system.
