Uniform
Bushey Meads School operates a very strict uniform policy, stating on their website, "Please note that non-uniform items will be confiscated and kept in the school office until the end of the school day." The stated aims of the policy are discipline and hiding differences in family wealth.
The uniform is relatively inexpensive, consisting of:
- green or white polo shirt, with school logo,
- green sweatshirt with school logo,
- black or charcoal grey plain trousers or (for girls) plain unpleated skirt,
- black or dark brown shoes.
Jewellery (other than one pair of simple studs for pierced ears) is forbidden.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“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)
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“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)
