Dress Code

We have chosen a gender-neutral/universal dress code for all students which offers good value and a smart look in comfortable clothes, and reflects our identity and promotes equality and inclusiveness. We want our students to express their individuality at school through their participation in the school’s life and their academic achievements in an environment where the emphasis is on pride in the school community.

  • Clothing with the school logo must be purchased from our online provider
    BMS.
  • Uniform with the school logo is mandatory and required every day.
  • Jeans or denim jackets, navy slim trousers, and leggings are not allowed at school.

The dress code is an integral part of our
Code of Conduct.
