Authorised ties: The School takes pride in its wide range of ties. The award of a tie can be a recognition of achievement and house ties encourage a sense of identity. All boys are entitled to wear a tie for their day or boarding house, but may become entitled to other ties as a scholar, member of a particular society, orchestra or activity, or may be awarded one as a prize or reward, or for sports colours, or on entry to the Sixth Form.
Scarves: The only patterned scarves permitted are the official school scarf or Sixth Form scarf; plain dark scarves are also acceptable.
Raincoats or overcoats: Coats should be plain navy blue or black and the same length or longer than the blazer, and should not carry conspicuous logos or colours.
Umbrellas: School umbrellas are available from the School Shop.
Dress code for all years
Boys should observe the following guidelines:
- Clothes must be smart, clean and well cared for.
- Hair must be cut so that it does not lie on the collar nor is excessively close-shaven. Bleaches or dyes that are in blatant contrast to a boy’s natural colour are not permitted.
- No ear-rings, bracelets, studs, chains, necklaces or rings are permitted (other than a single signet ring in the Sixth Form).
- The wearing of coloured T-shirts under school shirts, or T-shirts which are visible at the collar is not permitted.
- White shirts should be worn on all formal occasions.
- Shirts should be tucked in at the waist, with top buttons done up and ties worn correctly.
- Hats or caps should not be worn.
- Arrangements for summer dress will be announced as appropriate.
The School reserves the right to exercise its discretion over any aspect of a boy’s appearance.
