School Uniform Dress Code

Woodlynde School’s dress code policy nourishes in our students both a sense of belonging and a feeling of pride in their own appearance while creating an atmosphere conducive to learning. School dress code policies have been shown to increase academic performance. At Woodlynde School, our dress code policy reflects our commitment to serious learning and teaching.
