Our school procedure details a compulsory school uniform, which is practical, economical and attractive so that pupils will be encouraged to wear their school colours with pride. There is a considerable choice available in summer and winter with some very practical options available for parents and children to consider.

Swimming Pool
Our covered pool means that all classes are given regular tuition during an extended season. It is appreciated if parents ensure that children bring their swimming gear each day and that all gear, including goggles, is named. Our swimming programme helps develop competence and water safety skills.
Swimming sports for senior pupils and a swimming demonstration for our juniors are important events on our calendar.
Pool keys are available each season, for a fee, to school families only. The pool is then able to be used by these key holders outside of school hours throughout the summer season including the Christmas holidays.
Keyholders are asked to sign an indemnity, abide by pool rules and respect the facility. Keyholders are also asked to assist with monitoring the pool during the holidays. Please see Kathryn MacIntosh in the office for more information regarding keys.
