    Christmas Jumper Day will take place on Friday 19th December. Pupils are invited to come to school wearing non-uniform attire with a festive flair! This is a great chance to wear a favourite Christmas jumper, festive accessories, or themed festive colours. Pupils who do not wish to participate in the festive non-uniform day must attend school in their normal school uniform. Usual uniform expectations around make-up and jewellery still apply. Please ensure pupils bring in the correct PE Kit (or Dance Kit for Year 9 to Year 11) if this is on the child's timetable.
