We allow students to wear shorts in the summer months. During hot weather students will be informed whether blazers are optional each morning when entering the school gate.
The Halo Code
Your hair is an important part of your identity and expression, and we would like to support all of our students in wearing hairstyles that are important to them. We are proud to be a school that adopts and supports the Halo code. We are really happy to support any student who wishes to come to school with a hairstyle that is suitable and appropriate for school as part of their expression of identity. Extreme hairstyles or hairstyles that are unsafe, remain inappropriate for school (for example, long hair that is not tied up for a practical lesson, or an offensive word shaved into hair). Students who choose to wear a head covering are to wear one that is black, as per the school uniform.
