Wearing incorrect uniform is set out in the school’s behaviour policy as a barrier to learning. For all uniform misdemeanours, students will lose social time until the misdemeanour is corrected. By ensuring the standards of uniform are upheld across the school we hope our students will develop pride in all they do which will maximise their progress throughout their time at the school.
