Further Uniform Details
A high standard of personal appearance is expected of all students and anyone arriving at School in non-uniform clothing should expect to be sent home to change or be put in isolation.
-
Cardigans and hoodies are not to be worn in school at any time.
- Skirts should be the box-pleated style and should be no shorter than knee length; it is not appropriate for our girls to wear short skirts.
- Trousers and skirts are to be regulation style as in the photos. Trousers must be tailored, no jeans, leggings or jeggings are permitted. Students are permitted to wear black tailored shorts in hot weather.
- Logo belts are not part of our uniform and must not be worn, Only plain black leather belts can be worn.
- The uniform dress code is for black shoes, not trainers or boots. Trainers should only be worn for P.E. lessons, though students may choose to wear trainers to take part in sporting activities during social times (break/lunchtime). However, students must arrive on time to each lesson in their appropriate footwear, and should not have to be asked to change back into shoes at any point. Backless and canvas shoes are not safe enough in a school with so many stairs and laboratories. Footwear with designs and trade names are not to be worn.
- Shoes are to be worn with plain black, grey or white socks/ plain black, grey or neutral tights. If socks are worn on top of tights, the socks are to be the same colour as the tights, i.e., black, grey or neutral.
- Extreme haircuts are not appropriate for school, hair should not be coloured/patterned or in “Steps”/“Dip dyed”/“Tramlines”. Barber tags are not allowed. Hair should not be cut extremely short.
- We prefer students not to wear make-up; if it is deemed necessary it must be “natural” and staff have the right to request excessive make up is removed including drawn-on eye brows/fake tan and false eye lashes.
- Painted nails, extensions and acrylics are not permitted. Staff have the right to request nail varnish is removed. Students will be issued with rubber gloves to wear and expected to remove false nails that evening.
- Cardigans and hoodies are not to be worn instead of sweatshirts or coats. (Please emphasis the rule on hoodies)
- Scarves and pashminas are outdoor clothing and need to be removed on entering the classroom.
- Jewellery is not to be worn in school, with the exception of one pair of studs (no hoops) and only one stud in each ear lobe.
- Students may also wear a watch (though Smart watches or other items of wearable technology are not permitted)
- Facial, cartilage and tongue piercings are not allowed
- Other jewellery, such as bracelets, rings and necklaces are also not allowed – this includes charity bands.
Sanctions
- Anyone arriving at School in non-uniform clothing should expect to be sent home to change or be put in isolation.
- If students are seen wearing any prohibited jewellery during the school day, they will be asked to remove it and it will be confiscated until the end of the day. Parents/Carers will also be informed.
- If students have their jewellery confiscated more than once, then they will be placed on a Jewellery Report which they will need to get signed every lesson.
- If students still fail to comply with the rules while on Report, then further sanctions will be applied.
- The school will not take any responsibility for any items of jewellery that are brought into school
Please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Hogg (Deputy Headteacher, Pastoral & Learning) or the Headteacher for any further clarification.
