At Dawlish College our vision is to achieve excellence together and our uniform is an overt way of showing this level of expectation; it is also a way for students to express their pride in themselves and convey their attitude towards their learning. We expect all students to wear their uniform correctly at all times, including on their journey to and from College.
For more details regarding the College’s expectations, please refer to the Uniform Policy on our policies page
