Uniform
The school is known for its unique and highly recognised uniform, which consists of a white shirt/blouse, a grey pullover/cardigan, and a navy blue blazer with the school crest over the breast pocket. Depending on which part of the school a pupil is in, they also wear the following:
For Years 7-11:
- Grey trousers/grey skirt;
- Grey socks/tights and black shoes;
- A royal blue tie with the school crest embroidered on it; and
- Blue braiding around the lapels, and one blue band around each cuff, of their blazer.
For Years 12 and 13:
- Boys: grey/black trousers, grey/black socks and black shoes;
- Girls: blue skirt; blue socks/tights, and black shoes;
- Usually a royal blue tie; and
- Gold braiding around the lapels, and one gold band around each cuff, of their blazer.
If a member of Year 12 or Year 13 is a Prefect, they may have one additional gold band around each cuff, as well as a Prefect badge.

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)
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
