Student Dress Code and Uniform Requirements

Following discussion with students we have made the decision to remove the arbitrary dates that mark when summer or winter uniforms can be worn. Students may choose to wear either the winter or summer uniform any day dependent upon the weather. Students are reminded that they are not permitted to wear a combination of uniforms (eg: stockings with the summer dress) nor does this relate to the wearing of the PE Uniform which is permitted only when students have a scheduled PE class.
