Uniform
The school has a strict uniform code which is limited to an all-black blazer, black v-neck jumper, white shirt, school tie, trousers or a skirt and all black shoes. A competition to design the logo and tie was held during April and May 2009, with proceeds from entries being donated to Children's hospice south west's Precious Lives Appeal, the school's charity of choice. As part of their work as a Community School, this competition was opened up to staff, students, parents and carers, and any other member of the local area who showed an active interest in the well-being of the town.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:

The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
