Uniform
Bushey Meads School operates a very strict uniform policy, stating on their website, "Please note that non-uniform items will be confiscated and kept in the school office until the end of the school day." The stated aims of the policy are discipline and hiding differences in family wealth.
The uniform is relatively inexpensive, consisting of:
- green or white polo shirt, with school logo,
- green sweatshirt with school logo,
- black or charcoal grey plain trousers or (for girls) plain unpleated skirt,
- black or dark brown shoes.
Jewellery (other than one pair of simple studs for pierced ears) is forbidden.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
