Our students are ambassadors of College and are expected to dress and behave in a way that reflects the standards we seek to achieve. Under no circumstances will we tolerate styles which reflect current fashions. Please support us in ensuring that your child always wears the correct uniform in line with our policy. Uniform checks are carried out on a regular basis and any infringements to the uniform code will be expected to be remedied quickly.
