What happens if I wear clothing not permitted? 

• During tutor time a student will be expected to change into borrowed uniform or shoes if we have the size available. If this is not possible, parents will be contacted to collect a student and bring them back to school in the correct uniform.  
• The school will work with parents that are trying hard to replace clothing or shoes. It is important that parents inform us.
