Uniform
 



The school requires pupils to adhere to a dress code which includes school uniform. The uniform is based on issues of practicality, safety and sensitivity to our location here in Riyadh. Our school uniform provides our community with a sense of pride in their school. All school uniform items bear the school initials.
In the interests of health and safety, the school operates a 'no hat, no play' policy. Pupils who do not have a hat will be asked to sit in the shade. All pupils are expected to wear the hat available for purchase.

 


The new school uniform is available at Adeem Trading, our suppliers, at Al-Akaria    Center. Click here to see map.
