All pupils are required to wear uniform and we appreciate the support of parents in maintaining this. Uniform helps with creating a positive school identity, reducing social barriers, creating self esteem and self respect. It helps pupils to feel a sense of belonging as well as identifying them as ambassadors for the school.
