The school enforces a strict uniform policy where all students from Early Years to Year 11 are required to wear the official school uniform, which must be kept neat, tidy, and clearly labelled with the student's name. Students in the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13) are exempt from the standard uniform but must adhere to a "business smart" dress code, wearing professional attire such as suits to set a positive example for younger pupils.
The school provides a comprehensive lunch service prepared fresh on-site by an in-house catering team led by an experienced Head Chef, ensuring nutritious and high-quality meals for all students. The menu changes monthly to offer a diverse range of options, including Western, Chinese, and other international cuisines, and features special "International Lunch Days" every Wednesday to introduce students to global flavours. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle specific dietary requirements, including allergies and religious restrictions, with all beef, lamb, and chicken served being certified Halal.
