Uniform
The five years are each represented in the school's uniform by coloured bands on the ties; as of September 2012, these are Green(Year 7),Silver(Year 8), Yellow(Year 9), Blue(Year 10), and Red(Year 11), for years 7 through 11 respectively. The uniform also includes a blazer with an additional jumper, which is not compulsory. Prefects are given ties which include all five of these colours. The senior prefects are in turn given a band of a certain year, to whom they have to help; the bands are then sewed on to the cuffs of the blazer. The Head of Student Voice (who leads the school council) receives stitchings to the cuffs of the blazer, showing each year colour that belongs to the school.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“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)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
