College Uniform

^{From September 2024: School Uniform Policy}

From September, we are re-establishing our current uniform policy to ensure our students come to school every day prepared to learn and are respectful to themselves, staff and peers. Our uniform policy is designed to be clear to parents and ensure consistency and safety for our students.

From September, if you send your child to school in the incorrect uniform, your child will be placed in another supervised room, with their classwork, and you will be contacted to rectify their uniform. Your child will remain here until the situation has been resolved.
