Uniform

As a member of the school, students will develop a sense of pride in themselves and their uniform. Parental cooperation is imperative in order to achieve this aim.

The school expects all students in Year 7-11 to wear their uniform correctly at all times. If the school rules are not followed then the student will be isolated until the issue has been resolved. This can involve confiscating unacceptable items or a member of the pastoral team contracting home to rectify the situation. 

Please note there are compulsory items which are only available for purchase through Ellis Scott Schoolwear as outlined below. No other items of sportswear are acceptable for PE lessons. 

The guide for uniform is below:
