Every pupil in year 7 to 13 is, expected to wear the correct uniform. Having a school uniform contribute to the tone of the school and good order.

After consultation with staff, pupils, parents and carers, and in anticipation of warmer weather to come, it has been agreed that pupils will be given the option to wear smart, black, tailored shorts as an alternative to black trousers or skirts. Examples of acceptable tailored shorts are shown in the images here. Pupils will be allowed to wear these shorts after Easter for the Summer term onwards.

Several other schools in Swansea now allow pupils to wear smart, tailored shorts. They can be purchased through the uniform supplier Bergoni, or most other school uniform stockists including supermarkets.
