Uniform
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.
School Uniform
For full details of the required school uniform please see Uniform and Dress Code Policy.
“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.

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 headteacher. 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.
