Uniform
For Years 7-10, students wear a dark blue blazer with maroon stripes,which are known as "stripees", a white shirt, tie and black trousers. In Year 11, pupils switch to a dark blue blazer with a three-fishes crest on the left hand breast pocket. Sixth formers are required to wear a business suit of their colour choice, black, blue or grey, with a blue or white shirt. The school tie is blue with red stripes, with six additional house ties and various ties for membership of teams or achievements, and a separate tie for sixth formers.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“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)
“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)
