Uniform

We believe that our school uniform and dress code should reflect the standards and ethos of The English College. We have clear uniform and dress code guidelines, which all students are expected to conform to.

Students need to be aware of our expectations and we would ask parents to insist that their child meets these expectations when they are wearing their uniform, both at school and outside of school. We will challenge any student whose uniform does not meet our expectations and we reserve the right to ask a student to leave school premises to correct their uniform and/or learn from home until they are able to return to school in the correct uniform.

Star Club - After school childcare provision

We are a ‘Home within the School’ where your children can safely play with their friends after the school day ends.

Why use Star Club?

If you have to work or are otherwise engaged
If you have siblings in Foundation Stage and Primary – only one pick up per day is required
If you have appointments to keep / airport runs to make
If you would prefer all the glitter and messy play to happen at school
If there are no siblings / other children at home
If you want your child to become great at socialising / interacting with other age groups
