The Wearing of School Uniform is COMPULSORY.
All students are expected to wear the school uniform and maintain the highest standards of appearance at all times. We believe that the wearing of a school uniform is an important factor in establishing a pride in, and identity with the school, and at the same time minimises social divisions between students. The uniform comprises:
Blazers should be worn at all times by all students. They may be removed in class at the discretion of the teacher. A jumper in place of a blazer should NOT be worn. Outdoor clothing is NOT allowed to be worn in school at any time. Trainers must NOT be worn in school apart from in Physical Education lessons. Any request for permission to be excused wearing an item of uniform must be made in writing to the form tutor giving the reason and the period for which it is sought. The school has items of uniform which may be lent to a student without the correct attire, so that they can attend lessons as normal. PE DEPARTMENT’S POLICY FOR PE KIT Physical Education is a legal and important part of your education and therefore it is essential for you to have your PE kit for every PE lesson, regardless of illness or injury. There may be occasions where you may not be able to participate fully due to illness/injury. However, in these circumstances you can take on the role of coach, official or another role. You would wear your PE kit, which would prevent your school uniform from getting wet if the lesson is outside and raining. The PE Department has, therefore, made it a policy that:
Hair accessories and jewellery. For safety and security reasons no jewellery should be worn in school other than a watch and single stud earrings. Nose, tongue, face, body studs/bars etc are strictly prohibited Religious considerations Girls whose religious beliefs require legs to be covered can wear black leggings below their skirt or may wear black salwar kameez. School Uniform Shop The school runs its own uniform shop with Trutex as our stockists. Please Note The Following:
Physical Education Kit
School sweaters, ties, blazers, badges and PE/Games kit with the school motif/logo are available for purchase from school. No retailer is authorised to sell any item of clothing incorporating the school motif/logo. Other items of uniform (e.g. trousers, skirts, shirts, blouses, etc.) are also available from school via our mail order Trutex School Links. They are of good quality and competitively priced. Profits from the sale of school uniforms are used to buy extra resources for the benefit of our pupils. Acceptance of a place in school also means acceptance by pupils and parents of our school uniform. The Headteacher reserves the right to ban any item of clothing or personal appearance which is deemed to bring the school into disrepute or to have an adverse effect on the culture of the school. Where this occurs the Headteacher will meet with parents to resolve the issue. | ||||||
