Uniform
The old girls school uniform consisted of a brae blue jumper, a white blouse with the school badge, knee-length tartan skirts, and black tights/socks. The newer uniform was issued in Autumn 2010. The jumper is now navy blue, and the blazer was changed. The old school uniform may be worn. The current boys school uniform consists of a school blazer, with the pupils house colour on it. A similar school tie is also to be worn with the house colour on. Black neatly pressed trousers, and black socks. Black shoes must be worn, as trainers are not permitted. No changes are planned to the boys school uniform. Once the early summer heat has passed, the Headmaster of the Boys' school invariably declares "Summer", enabling ties to be removed within school but they must be worn around the neck outside the school grounds.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and can’t take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum major’s uniform on.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
