Uniform

 

IN THIS SECTION

At our international school, we believe that the strength of our community lies in its diversity.

All children are expected to wear the uniform and then follow a dress code in Years 12 and 13 (Sixth Form).

Branded uniform items can be purchased from our online shop. The uniform collection point can be found at the main school reception.

Opening times 

Term time: Monday, Thursday, Friday – 3.30pm – 4.30pm

During school holidays: Monday to Friday – 9.30am – 2.30pm

 

For non-branded items such as trousers, skirts, white shirts and smart school shoes, you can purchase them online from Marks & Spencer. Dutch schools do not have school uniforms, therefore it is difficult to find these items in the local shops.

If you have any questions please contact The BSA Uniform Team.
