International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and A-level
Our Year 12 and 13 students don't need to wear a school uniform. Instead, they're expected to dress in smart, business attire, which reflects their status as senior students and role models.
Helpful hint: make sure all of your child’s uniform and equipment is clearly labelled with their name. This keeps lost items to a minimum and saves confusion.
