Uniform
We want our pupils to be proud of the school while they are with us and how they look is central to showing that pride.
Our uniform is aimed at giving students a professional and purposeful outlook, reducing bullying by removing expensive branded items and giving a sense of community and belonging.

Branded jumpers and joggers
Branded items of clothing are welcome, but logos are to be small and not covering the clothing with multiple logos.
Any items of clothing with large, bright logos are not allowed. As of September 1st 2023 pupils will be changing into PE kit for their lessons.
Hair Colour
Hair colour should be a single, natural hair colour. If a pupil attends school with unnatural hair colour, parents will be contacted to reach a resolution and the student will remain in the PSU until resolved. Hair cuts should not be distracting and no patterns should be shaved into the hair. Hairstyles will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
Make up
If a pupil wears makeup to school this should be minimal and subtle. We will make judgement on this and if asked to remove makeup, Pupil’s will be given an immediate opportunity to rectify it and be given a 30 minute detention after school that day. There will be no eye makeup permitted.
Jewellery
Pupils can wear one small stud earring per ear and a watch (not a smart watch). If any other jewellery is seen, pupils will be asked to remove the Jewellery and a detention which will be a 30 minute detention after school that day.
Hoodies and non-uniform attire
Pupils should be wearing the correct uniform as soon as they enter the school gate. Coats should be removed before entering the school building. If a pupil is seen wearing any non-uniform attire, a 30 minute detention after school that day.
At no point are hoodies allowed to be on in school. They will keep pupils neither warm nor dry in the winter months. If they do choose to wear a hoodie to school, they will be asked to remove it at the gate and put it in their bags. If they are seen wearing it in school, the hoodie will then be confiscated and handed to the relevant AHOY. Every Friday afterschool, they will be available to be collected from reception but this will be the only day/ time they will be able to do so.
Nails
Pupils will wear their own natural nails. Clear nail polish may be worn. If a student attends school with false nails, they will be asked to remove the false nails and a detention will be issued.
