Whenever parents find that they are unable to send their son to school in full uniform they should provide a written note of explanation for him to present to his form tutor at registration. The School Planner is useful for this purpose.
It is important that students come to school adequately dressed in wet weather.
The school has adopted a school uniform to encourage a sense of belonging, avoid discrimination amongst pupils and project a positive image within the community. The wearing of the uniform imparts a sense of discipline, which promotes high standards of behaviour in adult life where often proper attire is a prerequisite. In addition the uniform avoids arguments within the family on what is suitable clothing for school. We therefore request your support and co-operation in this important matter.
