In both Primary and Secondary departments students may wear short sleeved shirts/blouses in summer and girls in primary may wear red and white checked dresses.

All children will need a swimming costume and towel.

Should pupils be required to wear head coverings, e.g. turbans or patkas, for cultural/religious reasons, they may do so. Some girls may choose to wear their traditional clothes, e.g. shalwar, kameez and dupatta or scarf, in which case the shalwar and dupatta or scarf may be black or maroon but the kameez must be maroon.

Pupils will not be allowed to wear jeans or tracksuits around school for their normal lessons.

Children will be expected to wear a weatherproof coat/jacket in bad weather.

Children are not encouraged to wear items of jewellery in school. Children who have had their ears pierced may wear stud earrings only.

Please ensure all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child s name.
