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 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 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.
