School Uniform & Shop

Blazer

This is plain black with the school crest on the pocket. The blazer should be worn at all times in school, apart from those lessons where blazers would be unsuitable. The school badge may be purchased from the school uniform shop.

Blouses/Shirts

Blouses and shirts are white, with a collar, full length cuffed sleeve or short sleeved if preferred. The blouse/shirt must be tucked in at all times. Fitted shirts that do not tuck in are not allowed. If a vest or T shirt is worn under the blouse or shirt it must be plain white.  Year 11 students wear a pale blue blouse or shirt

Jumper

A plain black V neck jumper is optional. The school tie should be clearly visible through the V neck. No symbols or patterns are allowed on the jumpers. Cardigans are not acceptable and will be confiscated.

Skirts/Trousers

Skirts must be black, not rolled at the waist and be of a knife pleat stitched down design and no more than 10cm either above or below the knee in length. 

Trousers must be of a full length, plain black, tailored and without external pockets. Skinny trousers, leggings, jeans or trousers made of any kind of denim or denim look alike are not permitted. If a belt is required it must be plain black with a simple buckle.

School Tie

The school tie is worn unless specific permission for its removal is granted. The tie is clip on with the house colour running through the stripe. All ties, including Year 11 ties can be purchased from the school uniform shop or the stationery shop located in the Learning Resource Centre. Year 11 wear a blue tie with the house colour embroidered logo.

Socks/Tights

Socks must be plain black, grey or white. Tights may be black or neutral.

Shoes

Black shoes (patent or polished) must be worn in school. Trainers and other types of sports shoes are only allowed during PE lessons. Heeled/canvas shoes and boots are not permitted.

Outdoor Coats

Parents are asked to provide sensible weatherproof coats. Denim and leather jackets are not allowed. Coats that are light coloured and/or incorporate fluorescent and reflective materials are more visible and therefore safer. Coat hoods must not be up unless the weather dictates it. Sweatshirts & hoodies are not allowed to be worn at any time unless permission (eg  Drama productions, House Captains etc) is given.

Jewellery

The wearing of jewellery in school is not recommended for reasons of health & safety, security and suitability. We strongly urge parents to discourage the wearing of jewellery at school. If, however, any parent still feels that some jewellery should be worn, only the following is permitted, which must be removed for activities such as sports and practical lessons.

• One simple chain worn inside the blouse or shirt, i.e. not visible.
• One simple signet ring, worn on a finger or on a chain around the neck.
• Bracelets are not permitted.
• For students with pierced ears, they are permitted to wear one small, plain single-stud in each ear, nothing else. Studs, bars & rings must not be worn on any other part of the body, including the nose, lip, eyebrow, navel and tongue (this is not an exhaustive list).
• A watch.
• Badges on blazers – only school issue ie Buddies, Library Ambassador, House etc.

If pupils are asked to remove items of jewellery for sports or practical activities, their safekeeping remains the pupils’ responsibility.

Make-up/Hair

The wearing of make-up at school is considered unnecessary.

KS3/KS4 – Minimal make-up at the discretion of the House Office team. Nail varnish, false nails and eyelashes are not permitted for Years 7 – 11.

Hair must be appropriate for a smart, professional environment and must not be extreme in style or length. It should not be cut shorter than a number 2 and must not be shaved-patterned. This also applies to shaved eyebrows. Hair must be a natural colour.
