Info

Jewellery: girls with pierced ears may wear plain studs or sleepers (one pair only in the lobes). No bright colours, large discs or oversized earrings are permitted. A watch, one ring and a necklace (to be worn out of sight) are allowed. Bracelets may not be worn, with the exception of one plastic charity bracelet or equivalent. Any jewellery brought into the School is at the owner's risk. Jewellery worn as a result of body piercing, other than that listed above, is not permitted at any time. Jewellery must be removed for all sports lessons and fixtures. Students are not permitted to have tattoos (permanent or temporary). Make-up must not be worn by girls in Years 7-11 when in uniform. Light make-up may be worn by girls in the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13) when in uniform if they wish. Hair must be clean, tidy, neatly cut and must be its natural colour, not dyed or highlighted. All hairstyles must be reasonable and hair must appear brushed or combed. Spiked or back-combed hairstyles are not appropriate for School. Girls’ from Nursery to Year 11 hair must be tied back in a ponytail with a hair band not a clip. Hair accessories need to be discrete and navy blue in colour. Flowers, bows or large clips are not permitted. Boys’ hair must not be too long – as a general guideline, it should be no longer than collar length and out of the eyes – nor must it be too short. Boys must be clean shaven. Hair should be of the same length and there should not be a significant difference in the length /style of hair e.g. very long on top and shaved at the side or back. The minimum length for boys’ hair is grade 4. Pupils who attend School with dyed hair or a hair cut that is deemed inappropriate may be sent home from School. They will be asked to have the colour or style of their hair adjusted by a hairdresser before returning to school. Girls in the Nursery to Year 9 must wear flat shoes. Girls in Years 10-11 may wear a 4 cm heel but not a stiletto. Girls in the Sixth Form may wear a 7 cm heel but not a stiletto. Weekend Dress (for Sunday Mass, School fixtures and formal occasions): School uniform. What happens when the weather is really hot? When the weather is really hot, we have what is called SHORT SLEEVE ORDER. This means: You need not wear your blazer or tie. Long sleeves on your shirt may be neatly rolled up. Shoes and all other items of clothing must conform to usual 21
uniform regulations. Full uniform must continue to be worn for whole school assemblies. How will I know when Short Sleeve Order applies? This information will be given to you by your Form Tutor on a daily basis. Each morning a decision is made by the Senior Deputy Head. He then informs teachers, who then will tell you. You are not allowed just to adopt short sleeve order as soon as the sun shines! However, during a lesson if you are hot, you may ask permission to remove your blazer. At the end of the lesson though, you must put your blazer back on! At break times and lunchtimes when you are playing outside, you are allowed to remove your blazer. Where do we buy uniform?
