Wearing the correct uniform demonstrates that a student is ready to learn. Page 5 and 6 of the Student Planner outlines our summer uniform requirements and expectations. If students are out of uniform then they must present note from home to the Junior School reception before class at 9am in order to obtain a Uniform Pass.
