When ordering uniform, please make you that you enter the student's full name and form (if known) in the special comments box on the checkout page.
Trousers: Students will wear plain black school trousers. Parents can purchase these from high street retailers, such as Asda, Marks and Spencer, John Lewis or Tesco, parents should be cautious of making purchases from fashion outlets whose products are unlikely to meet our requirements. The trouser leg should be straight and loose fitting from knee to ankle. Other styles of trouser (such as leggings, jeans, ‘capri pants’, harem pants, turn-ups and jeggings) are not allowed. Trousers made of other materials (such as linen, canvas or denim) are not allowed. Trousers must not have patch pockets or display any jean features such as rivet detail or jean stitches.
Skirts: Some students may choose to wear a skirt. Skirts should be knee-length, not stretchy or pleated. Skirts should be on the same material as trousers (see above).
Shirt: All students will wear a plain white shirt with traditional, stiff collar (no sports shirts). Shirts may be either long-sleeved or short-sleeved but they must have straight, loose arms and no embroidery. Shirts must be tucked in at all times. As with trousers, we recommend parents purchase shirts from high street retailers, avoiding fashion outlets.
Tie: A clip-on school tie which has green stripes must be worn at all times. Ties are available from the school website.
School Jumper/Cardigan: Jumpers/cardigans are compulsory and must be worn around the school building at all times. Jumpers must be plain black (with red piping) V-neck with an embroidered school logo
Coats: Students wishing to wear an outer layer will need to purchase a front-opening coat. This coat should be long enough to cover the school jumper. Items such as hoodies, tracksuit tops and sweat-tops are not allowed in school. Students wearing such items will have them confiscated until the end of the school day.
Socks and Tights: Girls wearing skirts must wear tights (except in the summer term). Tights should be black, completely plain and at least 30 denier. There should be no patterns on the tights and students must not wear woolly tights or knee length tights. Socks should be black or white (and ankle length with a skirt).
Our Summer uniform will be in place after each Spring Bank half term and will continue until we break up for the Summer in July. Parents will receive a text when Summer uniform can be worn.
Jumper/Cardigan and Shirt: During the above period, students will be allowed to remove their jumper. However, they must continue to carry their jumper/cardigan with them, in their bag at all times as they will be expected to be worn for formal school events such as assemblies, exams and celebration events. Both long-sleeved and short-sleeved white shirts will be allowed. Students must have shirts tucked in at all times and we respectfully remind parents that all under garments worn must be plain white.
Skirts/ Short: Only the approved school skirt may be worn or tailored, black shorts – trouser like material i.e. no linen, sports short, cargo shorts etc. Shorts and skirts must be closer to knee length and be appropriate for wear in a professional setting. If students wish to wear socks with their skirt or shorts, they must be black or white.
| 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. |
