The school schedule affected the uniform in many different ways. This varied from school to school which adopted a range of different rules. Day schools and boarding schools tended to have different rules. And this has varied over time with schools gtending go adopt more informal approaches to the uniform in recent years. Day schools generally expected the boys to dress up in their best uniform including blazers and ties and at one time their caps on the way to school, in part to create a good impression of the school. Once at the school the boys might take off their blazers or wear them. This varied from school to school, some cvhools having rules hike ohers did not. Boarding schools varied, although normally the day boys were expected to dress up when coming to school in the morning and going home in the afternoon. During the school day the boys mostly wore just their shirts with jumopers on cool days. In the afternoon the children change into gym togs which varied, depending on the games which varied seasonally. Sometimes all that was needed was to put on sneakers. Other times games gear was needed. At a few schools the children ire their iown clothes in the evening, but this was not very common. Then on saturday there was free afternnons. Some schools allowed the children to change into their own clothes. The children dressed up in their best uniforms, commonly blazers abd ties on Sunday for church services. A few schools had blazers for normal school wear, but grey suits for church abnd specialm occassions. There were also seasonal changes in the uniform.
