Uniform
All pupils below the sixth form are required to wear school uniform. For boys, this is a black blazer with badge, a red and black striped school tie, white shirt, grey trousers, dark grey socks and black shoes. A grey pullover is optional. Girls wear a blazer, optional black pullover, a grey and white striped school blouse, a grey box-pleated skirt and white socks or black opaque tights. Black trousers of the approved pattern are allowed as an alternative to skirts for girls. Pupils in the sixth form are not required to wear uniform, but are expected to observe a code which asks them to dress like young professionals.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“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.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
