Uniform – Ties 

Please can we ask parents/carers to speak with their child/children about their school ties. At present we are facing a number of issues, including: 

• Forgotten ties. 
• Lost ties that have not been replaced. 
• Purposefully damaged ties. 

There is a small number of ties we can lend to students on the odd occasion they may forget their tie, but this issue is becoming persistent and unmanageable.  

As a reminder, ties are a compulsory part of the school uniform. When a tie is borrowed, students are required to leave an item of security to ensure it is returned at the end of the school day. If borrowed ties are lost, we will request the cost to be reimbursed by parents/carers.  

Should you need to replace a tie or any other uniform, items such as the school ties that need to be purchased from the Uniform Stockists can be purchased at the following:
