School Uniform
Our school uniform, which displays our school logo is smart, yet practical and affordable. It can be obtained from the Marks and Spencers School Uniform service - http://www.mandsyourschooluniform.com/
We believe that a school uniform promotes:
- A sense of pride in the school
- A sense of community and belonging towards the school
- Respect
- A feeling of equality between peers
- A smart and sensible attire designed with health and safety in mind
