Boarding, Uniform and Food

Daily life details and school culture

Uniform Requirement

Uniforms are available exclusively from THREADS The Uniform Store, and substitutes are not acceptable. The uniform is divided into four divisions: Infant School (Foundation Stage to Year 2), Junior School (Year 3–6), Prep School (Year 7–9), and Senior School (Year 10–13). Shoes must be black polished leather; FS–Year 9 wear Velcro shoes and seniors wear plain black shoes (senior boys' shoes with laces); if the uniform is damaged or discoloured, a replacement should be purchased promptly.

Food Options

Food is provided by Slices Catering through the on-site cafeteria, which offers a range of healthy, balanced meals. A cashless system is used to top up student accounts via the GEMS Connect app, with student IDs used as purchasing cards. A Slices parent café on site provides dining and snack options for parents and visitors.

House System

House sport plays a central role in physical education, with inter-house competitions such as House Sports Day. The Metropole Mavericks represent a named school team in sporting fixtures.

Governance and Ownership

The Local Advisory Board provides strategic oversight, upholding the school's alignment with GEMS' vision and values, and monitoring standards and performance. The LAB is not involved in financial matters or day-to-day operations, and it acknowledges the relationship between GEMS Education and the school. The school operates within the GEMS Education network.
