We are extremely proud of the high standards and expectations that we have of all our students and believe that our students should look smart and professional and that they take pride in their appearance and in their school. Wearing of the uniform will be enforced and we ask parents/carers for their complete support.

The list below is intended to help parents/carers know what is permitted in school and what is not. If ever parents/carers are in any doubt about items relating to the school uniform policy – please telephone and clarify the query before purchasing. School uniform can be ordered online through our Direct to Parent ordering system.

Hair must be of a natural colour and in an appropriate style. Extreme coloured hair and haircuts are not permitted.

Any religious headwear must be plain black or white. No other headwear is allowed.

Students may wear a small number of discreet, smart-looking piercings. This includes piercings in the ear and a single nose stud. All jewellery must be modest in size and appropriate for a school environment. For health and safety reasons, all jewellery must be removed for PE and practical lessons. The school reserves the right to determine what is considered appropriate, and all decisions regarding acceptable jewellery will be at the discretion of school leaders.

Students may wear subtle make-up, including nail varnish. False nails and nail extensions are NOT allowed.

If students are found to be wearing incorrect uniform parents will be contacted to resolve the issue. Students may be sent home to change. Hoodies and branded jumpers will be confiscated until the end of the school day.

 

At times of extreme weather, it may be possible for students to wear their PE uniform to school. This will be communicated in advance.
