Footwear: All students are expected to wear polishable, black shoes with a low heel for safe movement around school. Trainers are not allowed meaning no sports logos of any kind are allowed (even if they are black). There should be no tassels, adornments or decorative buckles. Canvas shoes, sandals and pumps are not allowed. Plain, black, polishable boots are allowed as long as they are covered by school trousers and not evident. For this reason, boots cannot be worn with skirts.
Ear-rings: Students may wear a small single plain stud (not a ring) in each ear. Ear 'stretchers' are not permitted. No other piercings are permitted. Jewellery: Wristbands and bracelets are not permitted. Students may wear a watch but should not wear watches enabled to access mobile services (such as the Apple Watch). Students may wear one ring. Necklaces should not be worn.
Make-up: Make-up should be worn discreetly and should be natural looking and flesh-toned. Any students wearing excessive make-up will be asked to remove it. Nails should be natural and neutral coloured and of a reasonable length. Students should not wear false eyelashes.
Hair: Hair should not be dyed in unnatural colours. Students wishing to tie their hair back should use plain, undecorated accessories to do so.
Nails: Nails should be neutral in colour and short in length (no longer than the finger tip).
Undergarments: Students should wear plain, white undergarments beneath their shirts.
Other: Belts must be plain black. No headgear is permitted at all (except for religious reasons)
Summer Uniform: Summer uniform will be in place as of the first day back after the May Spring Bank holiday until the end of the academic year. During this time, students will no longer be expected to wear their school jumper/cardigans in and around the building and in lessons. However, students must continue to bring their jumper/cardigan into school each day.
Trousers: Trousers should be loose fitting and black. There should be no rivets or zips. The material should not be stretchy or denim. Please note that uniform sections of shops sell trousers that do not meet our requirements, so please check carefully before purchasing.
Skirts: Skirts should be purchased from the uniform provider. Skirts should be black, straight and loose fitting. Stretchy material or pencil skirts are not allowed. Skirts should be knee length.
Piercings: Students are permitted to wear one pair of studs in their ears. Hoops etc are not permitted due to health and safety risks in a busy school.
All other piercings e.g. nose piercings, tongue piercings are not allowed under any circumstances.
| Jumpers will still need to be worn for formal school events (all exams, assemblies, celebration events, etc.). We will also be maintaining the rule that no other tops can be worn (eg hoodies). As such, in the event of students needing to put on an extra layer in school, it would need to be their school jumper. The rules with regard to shirts and ties remain unchanged. Shirts must be tucked in at all times and ties must continue to be worn correctly. A reminder that short-sleeved shirts are acceptable as long as they have a stiff collar. |
