Uniform
The school uniform consists of a burgundy fitted blazer (compulsory) with the SHS logo embroidered on the left hand side, a grey skirt in a choice of 3 styles: a pleated skirt, a one-pleat skirt and a pencil skirt, or grey trousers, with a pink and white candy striped blouse. There is also an optional burgundy sweater for colder weather. Students may wear a scarf of any style providing it is plain burgundy, plain black or plain grey. Year 11 are currently allowed to choose to wear a black V Neck alternative.
Make-up is not allowed in Years 7, 8 and 9, apart from a small amount of concealer or foundation. However discrete make-up is allowed in Years 10 and 11. Extreme hair colours are not allowed. Boots may only be worn to and from school in the winter. Shoes must be plain and black in colour.
Before the academic year 2009/2010 the uniform consisted of a grey pencil skirt and black tights or black, white or grey socks or grey trousers, plain black shoes, a pink and white candy striped blouse and a maroon sweatshirt with the school logo on it. This was changed to the current uniform after a survey showed that the majority of parents, teachers and pupils would prefer a change of uniform.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“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)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
