School Uniform
At George Green's School, we believe that our school uniform plays a crucial role in maintaining our ethos and fostering a sense of belonging amongst our students. It sets the tone for a disciplined and focused educational environment that supports students in their academic and personal growth.
We kindly ask that all parents/carers support us in ensuring their children wear the school uniform appropriately. A smart appearance sets the tone for a disciplined learning environment and reflects the values we uphold.
Please familiarise yourself with our uniform policy, which should be adhered to consistently.
