Uniform

At St Mark’s, we expect every student to wear our school uniform correctly and with pride. Our uniform reflects our shared identity and our sense of belonging to the St Mark’s community. Maintaining high standards of uniform is part of our commitment to everyday excellence: taking pride in ourselves, our school and the way we present ourselves each day. By upholding these standards consistently, we create a positive, purposeful environment where everyone can feel proud to be part of St Mark’s.
