Uniform is simple and consistent across the school; all students from Foundation Stage 1 to Year 11 wear school uniform, while Sixth Form follows a dress code. The Uniform Shop stocks items including swimwear, bags, hats, sportswear and house shirts, and serves as a key purchasing channel. Parents may also buy uniform from other retailers. The shop is usually open during term time, prior to the start of each academic year and on orientation days.
There are four student houses: Oryxes, Wolves, Falcons and Leopards. Senior School House Captains represent their houses and lead activities during Inter House Competitions and school events such as Sports Day. House points are awarded for attainment, effort and ethos, and students also fundraise for their chosen house charities.
