Uniform
For girl students in the Preparatory, Lower and Middle school, the uniform comprises a navy kilt and jumper, worn over a white and navy striped blouse. In addition, girls still wear the deckchair blazer—one of the few reminders of the school's seaside past. Boys wear a plain navy blazer and trousers, with a white shirt and school tie. Sixth Formers wear dark suits of their own choosing.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and can’t take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum major’s uniform on.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“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)
