Wear the correct uniform
We regularly check that students wear their full uniform including blazers and ties.
Students wearing skirts should ensure these are pleated and knee-length. Shoes must be plain black. Any make-up most be subtle and jewellery is restricted to a single pair of stud earrings.

Complete work outside of lessons
Complete any homework/independent learning set by your teachers.
