Question 1

Appearance

Accepted Answer

The appearance of the pupils reflects very much on the School and all pupils are expected to wear school uniform to and from school and to maintain a smart and clean appearance. The uniform requirements are quite clear and girls must wear only the specified tailored trousers or skirt.   It is vital that all property, including items of clothing, is plainly marked with the pupil’s name.   Jeans, training pants, boot leg, ski pants, sweatshirts and denim or leather jackets should not be worn. Training shoes of any colour and boots are not allowed in school.   In extreme circumstances if there has to be a variation from the required standard, pupils should be provided with a note explaining the situation and giving a date when the uniform will be complete. The full uniform must be reinstated in as short a time as possible.   Pupils risk being sent home to get changed if wearing incorrect uniform without a note.
