Our School Uniform

We pride ourselves on our school uniform and we are happy when

members of the public comment on how clean, tidy and well dressed our

pupils are.

Please help us to STAY SMART by ensuring that your child is wearing

the correct school uniform.

NB: Plain jumpers, sweatshirts and cardigans and polo shirts are not

part of our uniform and should not be worn at this school.

Please Check!

We would like to take this opportunity to ask all parents to check this weekend that their child/ren are

coming home with their own clothing.

We thank you in advance for returning any items of clothing that do not belong to your child.

Finally we ask that you ensure that garments are

labelled and that your child knows where the labels are located.
