School Uniform

We are very proud of our school and feel that our uniform is an important sign that we are all one family. It is a visible sign to all that we are a Christian community who work together to provide the very best for our children. High standards in everything are very important to us and our uniform is one way that our search for excellence is expressed. The uniform is also a clear statement to the children of the close partnership that exists between home and school and that their parents fully support the ethos and work of the school.
