General Information
Regulation School Uniform
The Junior School Uniform is the same for Students in the First, Second, and Third Year. The school uniform can be purchased at Ray Lawlor’s, North St.
Uniforms for Junior Students
Cream blouse with revered neckline, bottle green V-neck jumper with school crest, bottle green skirt, 28” long, with 2 inverted pleats to back and front (not to be shortened) or bottle green school uniform trousers, bottle green knee socks/tights. Plain black or very dark navy, low-heeled soled shoes. If laced, then the laces must be the same color as the shoes.
Two types of jackets are available- a navy fleece with the school crest or a navy waterproof jacket with the school crest are the only jackets that may be worn in school if students are feeling particularly cold. These jackets are available from local uniform suppliers and are suitable for all students. We recommend school uniform jackets as they last for years and avoid putting pressure on parents to buy expensive brand-name jackets that follow the latest trends.
Uniform for Senior Students
Cream blouse with revered neckline, bottle green V-neck jumper with school crest, black watch skirt, 28” long, with 2 inverted pleats to back and front (not to be shortened) or black watch school uniform trousers, bottle green knee socks/tights. Plain black or very dark navy, low-heeled soled shoes. If laced, then the laces must be the same color as the shoes.
P.E. Uniform – All Year Groups
A school PE top is the regulation top for PE days and will be made available through the school. Plain navy, black, or grey tracksuit bottoms or leggings and runners with a non-marking sole complete the PE uniform.
Please put a name label on all items of school uniform and P.E Uniform.

Canteen
The Breakfast Club opens daily from 8.00 – 8.45 am. and provides cereal, tea, and toast free of charge to any student who arrives at school extra early in the morning.
