Official ECS Uniform Regulations

Official ECS Uniform Regulations

All students must wear a regulation uniform at all times during the academic year. New uniforms may be purchased either online or in person at the Clothing Shop, and gently-used items at the Encore Shop. Uniforms must be clean, in good repair, and well-pressed. All clothing must be labelled. Students must travel to and from School in uniform, unless participating in School sports. At ECS, we believe that respecting our uniform policy reflects respect for the School. Staff will therefore ensure that uniform regulations are upheld; when students have incomplete or damaged elements of their uniform, we will ask them to purchase replacement ones (eg. ties, or tights).
