Shoes and Trousers

With the ever-changing fashions in footwear and trouser designs, some parents have asked for guidance regarding which shoes and which trousers are acceptable as part of the school uniform.

Therefore, to help parents when choosing shoes and trousers for school, we have selected some images as examples of shoes for girls and boys, and examples of trousers for girls, that are acceptable and are available locally.

We have also selected images of shoes and trousers that are not acceptable for school.

We hope that this information will help parents when choosing appropriate uniform.

If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate Head of House at the Academy who will be able to give you advice.
