Uniform
Brookfield require all students to wear a uniform at school, it plays a key role in the ethos of the school, provides a sense of belonging and identity and sets an appropriate tone for education. In addition to clothing the school maintains high expectations for standards of appearance that parents should also ensure they are aware of, and support the school with students adherence to these expectations.
The school do not wish to place an unreasonable burden on parents when sourcing uniform and have placed a high priority on ensuring that the cost of Brookfield Uniform is within a reasonable range. Uniform can be purchased from the following supplier:
