UNIFORM

All items should be clearly marked with the pupils' name and form.

Parents/Carers will notice that the list is clear and concise.  We do not want staff time and effort to be wasted on uniform problems.  It is our aim that teachers should be allowed to teach and pupils to learn.  The co-operation of parents/carers is appreciated and we draw your attention to the following points:

  1. Uniform should be smart and appropriate for the school environment.

  2. It should give a clear sense of identity.

  3. No extreme of fashion is allowed.

  4. Offensive lettering or suggestive logos/comments on clothing, school bags, and books is prohibited.

  5. Failure to conform to these rules will result in the pupil being sent home or placed on internal exclusion.

Further Points

  1. Trainers are NOT school uniform and should NOT be worn for general wear around school.  Trainers can be worn when pupils are taking part in a sporting activity.

  2. Haircuts of extreme fashion or unnatural colour are NOT permitted.  Haircuts below grade 2 are discouraged.  (Please note point 5 above.)

  3. Make-up - natural, discreet make-up is allowed.  No nail varnish.

  4. Jewellery - the wearing of jewellery is not appropriate for school.  Pupils with pierced ears may wear one stud in each earlobe only.  (These will need to be removed for PE lessons.)

  5. Outdoor coats - must not have inappropriate logos, slogans and should NOT be worn inside the school building.

  6. Mobile Phones are discouraged.  However if they are needed for safety reasons, they should be switched off during the school day and locked away in a locker - the school accepts NO responsibility for mobile phones.

  7. Personal stereos and other similar valuable items should NOT be brought into school.  The school accepts no responsibility for their loss or damage.

 

The school will remove any pupil from lessons who does not conform to our guidelines.
