Dress Code and
Uniform
Buying a school uniform is a major expense and for this
reason the uniform has been carefully chosen and priced so
that, whilst it is distinctive from those of neighbouring
schools, it is also easily obtainable and keenly priced.
Our uniform creates our school identity and establishes a sense of
pride amongst the students. It is expected that all students will come
to the school every day in full, neat, clean uniform, giving the message
that our students take pride in belonging to our school. This will
continue to be the case until the student leaves the school and will
also apply to the public examination period for all students. Year 11
students will attend all examinations and revision sessions in full
uniform until their last examination. The support of parents in
ensuring this is expected. Staff are required to ensure these standards
are maintained at all times.
Uniform sends a strong message about standards and self worth.
Admission to our school implies acceptance of the uniform code and
students who are not correctly dressed may be sent home to change
by a senior member of staff. Repeated disregard for school rules could
result in a fixed-term exclusion. Uniform does not discriminate and
ensures all learners have equal opportunities and shared expectations,
regardless of background.

Personal Appearance
Hair
Hair must be worn in an appropriate conventional style. Hair styles must
be such that they can easily be kept neat and do not prevent students
from participating effectively and safely in all school activities.
Heads must not be shaved and should be no shorter than a grade 2 nor
should there be any style which the school believes would undermine
the ethos or discipline of the school. To be clear this means markings cut
into the hair or eyebrows, Mohicans and other extreme styles. The
dying, high or low lighting of hair in natural colours is acceptable – other
colours are not permitted. Students will be required to re-dye their hair
in the event of failing to adhere to this rule.
Shirt and trouser styles
Shirts must have a collar (casual shirts are not permitted) and be worn
appropriately, i.e. shirts must be tucked in, collars buttoned to the top
and ties worn neither too long nor too short. Trousers and skirts should
be tailored only. Trousers should be worn with a belt where necessary
and should not hang below the waist. Skirts should be knee length. No
jeans or leggings are allowed.
Outdoor coats
Must be removed on entering the building and should be worn on the
journey to and from school only. Students should not wear hoodies, nor
cardigans and non-uniform jumpers under their blazers. These items will
be removed.

Make up and nail varnish
Make up should be minimal and discreet for upper school students only.
Coloured nail varnish and excessive make-up should not be worn. We do
not consider make-up, jewellery and non-standard items such as trainers
or shirts and sweatshirts with motifs to be acceptable as school uniform.
Jewellery
No jewellery of any kind is to be worn, except for a watch. Watches must
be removed before P.E lessons. Students who persist in wearing
jewellery, other than that allowed, will have these items confiscated. A
letter will be sent to parents asking them to collect it. Parents will be
asked to sign a receipt on collection. Staff confiscating jewellery should
place it in an envelope. The envelope will be taken to the Administration
Office to be locked away. The school takes no responsibility for jewellery
which should not have been brought into school, and is subsequently
lost or stolen. However, once confiscated, the school and its staff are
responsible for ensuring its security.
Parental Support
Parental support is crucial in maintaining the high standard of uniform
and appearance at our school. Parents are asked to note that we do not
accept responsibility for loss of, or damage to, personal property on, or
left on, the premises.
The school retains the right to act as the final authority in the
interpretation of the dress code. If unsure, parents and students are
advised to contact Heads of House for clarification before purchasing an
item.
