School Life – Junior School

A clean, tidy, neat appearance is expected of pupils at all times.  Maintaining a high standard of dress while wearing the school Dress Code and Sports Uniform is part of the training we seek to give pupils here at school. We believe that the Dress Code enhances our children’s dignity and respect for themselves and others.
