Jewellery is not permitted for boys or girls. Pupils are allowed one pair of plain stud earrings and a wrist watch. No other piercings including nose studs will be tolerated. Pupils with additional piercings will be asked to remove them. 

For pupils in Years 10 and 11 discreet make up will be allowed subject to it being recognised as reasonable and acceptable by the school. No makeup in KS3 Y7-Y9. Pupils must not wear nail varnish or artificial nails.  

Bags should be sensible and practical. Pupils need to be ready to learn and will require  a PE kit, books and other equipment.  Small pouches and fashion handbags are not permitted.

Outdoor clothing should not be leather, denim or suede. It is not advisable to wear expensive items. Plain coats or anoraks rather than the latest fad or fashion are permitted. No hooded sweatshirts or gilets of any kind. 

Variations from school uniform, however ‘fashionable’, are not acceptable and pupils who do not follow our rules are likely to be sent home until the matter is rectified, or placed into isolation. In some instances, school will provide temporary replacements for items of uniform.

Non-compliance with regard to uniform is a breach of school rules. There are a range of consequences which can be issued as appropriate.

1. Confiscations of inappropriate items(s).
2. Having to go home to get changed/clothes to be brought in by parent/carer.
3. Having to wash off makeup.
4. Having to remove nail varnish.
5. Not being allowed to take part in an extra-curricular activity or event.
6. Isolation.
7. Detention.

The school’s decision is final.

Please note: the school will not accept a note for a student to wear trainers unless this is a note from a qualified doctor. Any other note will not be accepted.

We understand that for some families, finances are an issue. By doing all we can to eradicate fashion items at the school, we are helping all families in keeping costs down. Nevertheless, if you do have a particular problem, or you are unsure about an item of uniform, please do not hesitate to contact the head teacher or your child’s head of year who will deal with your enquiry in confidence.

We will contact home whenever there is a problem with a child’s uniform.
