Seasonal and Individual Event Changes

At times throughout the academic year, small changes may be made to school uniform expectations.  For example, in the summer months, students may be allowed not to wear a blazer.   These will always be communicated with students and parents beforehand.

Also, during specific activities like certain reward events, Bradyfest, etc, students may be instructed to come into school in their PE kit; again, this will always be communicated from school beforehand.
