Daily life details and school culture

Uniform Requirement

The Uniform Exchange is run by The Friends' Committee and Beyond Teddies to keep uniform costs down and encourage recycling of uniform and kit as pupils join and leave the School. Shells starting in September 2023 will need to purchase uniform from the new supplier, as detailed in the Parents' Handbook. Donations of clean, good-quality uniform are welcome at Facilities Reception on South Parade labeled Uniform Exchange; all money raised goes to the Bursary Fund; a straight swap exchange is offered.

House System

Pupils are grouped into a house system with houses including Apsley, Avenue, Cooper Lodge, Corfe, Cowell's, Field House, Jubilee, Kendall, Mac's, Oakthorpe, Segar's, Sing's and Tilly's. House Reps organise house-specific coffees and events to foster community.
