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:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“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)
