Uniform
The school uniform currently follows the school's blue colour scheme;
For Boys;
- Dark blue blazers
- Dark blue tie with school logo or the golden jubilee tie (blue with golden school badges)
- Light blue or white shirts
- Black or charcoal grey trousers.
For Girls;
- Dark blue blazers
- Light blue fitted blouse with no tie
- Grey skirts only.
The uniform has changed many times in recent history. In recent times a white shirt would have been worn with either a blue, black and white striped tie or a blue and golden badged tie celebrating the schools golden jubilee. Also, in the past, girls were required to wear ties.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
