Principles
It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos.

We provide a complete list of the items needed for children’s school uniform in this policy and in our school prospectus.

Make up and Cosmetics
Make up and cosmetics are not considered appropriate or consistent with our school uniform. The school does not permit such products to be worn by any children, unless there is a specific event for which the Head has given permission.

All clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with your child’s name and we recommend that attention be paid to the ‘care label’ inside each garment when washing.
