School Uniform
Uniform consists of a black blazer embroidered with the school crest on the chest pocket, a white shirt or blouse, and black trousers or a knee length skirt. Boys are required to wear ties, and all year-11 students have different ties and crests to those of the lower years. In the summer students are allowed Beaumont summer shirts in place of the blazer and tie.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or uniform:
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“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)
