Uniform and Equipment

Coats are to be single colour and plain without patterns, logos or slogans. Tracksuit tops, hoodies, denim and leather coats are not permitted. Hoods should not be worn unless the weather warrants this.

No haircut, colour or accessory should be offensive, which we define as – a reasonable person in the school community would find disrespectful, insulting or hurtful to others. Examples would be a political symbol shaved into a haircut or a cut that becomes closely linked to an extreme affiliation. Beyond this, hair may be any colour or colours, style and cut. Hair accessories such as bows, bands or clips may be worn.

Year 7 and 8 – no makeup should be worn. Year 9 and up – modest, natural look makeup can be worn. In all years, any style of false eyelash may be worn

All nail colours and types of artificial nail can be worn. In all cases the length of the nail should only go to the end of the finger as a maximum. Nail embellishments should be flat to the nail.

Stud earrings only, of any number are permitted in the ear. Studs should be capable of being removed for PE or other occasions. Stretcher or flesh ring style ear piercings should be flat to the ear. Necklaces should be placed under the shirt. Rings and bracelets that can be removed for PE, DT or other lessons, may be worn.

Plain black belts may be worn if used for its functional purpose not for fashion and not visible below the top of the jumper when worn.

A single discrete stud may be worn in the nose if it can be removed for PE lessons or other occasions. As a result, timing of piercings should be planned for the long summer break only.

In the summer term some small edits to our full uniform policy are made to allow students to dress comfortably when hotter days appear. Smartness is still important and so the following is followed: In the summer term students do not need to wear or bring to school their school jumper. On colder days, we expect the school jumper to be worn first before a coat. A coat without the jumper is not acceptable. Shirts should be tucked in and may be short or long sleeved. Ties should be worn down to the waist. Tights do not have to be worn with skirts in the Summer Term, short plain (no logos or embellishments) socks in grey, black or white may be worn in their place.
