School Uniform Expectations

At The Chase, we believe that wearing a smart and consistent uniform reflects pride in belonging to our community. A high standard of appearance among students enhances both their image and that of the school, encourages a business-like and purposeful atmosphere, and helps to prevent competition over fashions and labels. Students are expected to follow the school’s guidelines on uniform and personal presentation throughout the school year.

All students are expected to wear full school uniform correctly at all times, including when travelling to and from school. All items should be clean, in good condition and worn appropriately.

Uniform Guidelines

Students are expected to wear the following items:

• Navy blazer with Chase badge
• Plain white shirt, tucked in at all times
• Chase clip-on tie

Additional Uniform Information

Chase jumpers may be worn underneath the blazer during colder months. Jumpers are not a replacement for the blazer, which must be worn at all times
