Our uniform identifies our community as we all work together to live our mission. It supports our focus on learning, develops responsible attitudes towards personal appearance, and provides us with a sense of pride in the wearing of our crest that represents the ideals and aspirations of our School.

The uniform guidelines support parents in partnering with the School to ensure that our students are prepared and ready for the learning opportunities that each day will present. We are grateful for the parental support needed to ensure that our uniform guidelines are adhered to. Any questions concerning dress should be directed to the Middle School Office by email: msoffice@tasisengland.org. Any exchanges/returns for uniform purchases must be left at Security, not at the Middle School Office.

Please ensure that your child’s uniform items are labeled so they are easily reunited with you when lost. This request is especially helpful for jumpers and coats.
