    School Dress Code - Years 7 to 11

    We firmly believe that students should take pride in their personal appearance and in membership of our school community by wearing our agreed school uniform. All items of dress and footwear should be suitable for wear in a school in which stairs have to be climbed regularly and in which Health and Safety issues are very important.

    Religious Headwear Must be black or dark blue.
    Hair Hair must be a natural colour. Hair styles must be suitable for school. Only small hairclips/ hairbands are allowed.

    “Plain” is defined as being without embellishment, i.e. studs, additional zips, braiding, logos etc. Students may remove their blazer with the permission of a member of staff during a lesson. Jumpers, if worn, are not a replacement for the blazer and should be worn under the blazer. We recommend that all uniform is identified with the owner’s name.

    Jewellery, make-up and hairstyles

    1. Excessive jewellery is not suitable wear for school and can be dangerous. Body piercing is not permitted due to health and safety risks. Discreet plain studs in the ears are permitted. If there are religious or family reasons for wearing an item of jewellery then permission must be sought from the College Leader.  Jewellery is the responsibility of the owner and is worn at the owner’s own risk.  Fashion wrist bands and strings are not permitted.
    2. Discreet plain studs in the ears are permitted but should be removed for PE. 
    3. Other visible body piercings are not permitted and the student will be expected to remove them, e.g. nose stud, tongue piercing, facial/eyebrow piercing. 
    4. Nail varnish, nail art and false nails are not permitted. Students will be asked to remove nail varnish and a reasonable period of time will be provided to remove false nails.
    5. Natural, subtle and basic make-up may be worn.  No false eyelashes
    6. Baseball caps are not permitted.  Hats and scarves may be worn when permitted in inclement weather and must be removed when inside the building.
    7. Extreme hair colour and extreme unnatural hairstyles are not permitted.

    Cost of the school uniform

    • We want to ensure that the cost of uniform is affordable for all families and does not lead to students feeling socially excluded or unable to afford other necessities.  As a result we have taken steps to limit the number of required items that carry the school logo. Parents/carers who are unable to provide their child with the required items of school uniform should contact the Head Teacher.  Such approaches will be handled with discretion and sensitivity.
    • The cost of equipping a student with our uniform (including 2 pairs of trousers/skirts, and 4 white shirts) can be as low as £120 if non-branded elements are purchased from a high street supermarket store and if only the essential elements are purchased. This increases to circa £210 if all non-essential elements are also purchased such as a PE hoodie.
    • The School operates a ‘fill a ‘bag for life’ for £10’ scheme for parents/carers who wish to purchase previously used items of uniform.
    • All students need a suitable bag with all necessary equipment to ensure they are ready to learn.
    • The school is happy to support students in wearing items, which relate to culture or religion.  It will be appreciated that there cannot be endless arguments about dress, and the school’s decision on whether appearance is appropriate for school or not must be the final one.  Students whose appearance is not appropriate for school may be sent home and asked to change.
