Compass PLUS - International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and A-Level
Our Year 12 and 13 students don't need to wear a school uniform. Instead, they're expected to dress in smart, business attire, which reflects their status as senior students and role models.
Changing for Athletics
- Primary students can wear their sports kit all day when they have PE lessons
- Students should bring a long sleeved t-shirt cover-up when walking between the changing room and the pool
- Changing rooms are located next to the swimming pool
Personal appearance
-
Jewellery should not be worn in school. However, we do allow students to wear a watch and stud earrings (earrings that sit flat on the ear lobe and do not dangle). To ensure health and safety, other jewellery or piercings are not permitted.
-
Jewellery should not be worn on PE or swimming days.

Students should not wear their hair in an extreme style. Long hair must be tied back during practical experiments and PE lessons.
