Uniform
Uniform
It is our aim that students should develop a sense of pride in their work, behaviour and dress. Therefore, a high standard of personal appearance is expected of all students:
- All students are expected to come to school wearing the correct uniform at all times.
- Unless specified, uniform must also be worn for educational visits, regardless of the time of day. Students are also expected to wear uniform when returning to school for evening events, such as curriculum information evenings, options evenings, etc.
- Students who come to school inappropriately dressed will be dealt with according to the school’s Uniform and Behaviour for Learning policies as set by the Governing Body.
- The school’s uniform policy and a uniform list are issued to all new students.
- An option to buy 'Pre-Loved' uniform is available. Further details can be found here.
All students carry a Responsibilities and Expectations Card. If the uniform or PE kit is incorrect, a member of staff will mark the card. Six marks for any reason or a missing card will result in an after school detention.

Additional Information
All hair longer than collar length must be tied back for health and safety reasons in the appropriate lessons, e.g.: science, design & technology and PE.
For Science/Design and Technology/Food Technology activities, aprons and goggles must be worn and are provided by the school.
Grip socks are required to use for drama lessons in the drama studio.
We advise parents to purchase shin pads and mouth guards for both boys and girls. For safety reasons students who do not wear shin pads will not be able to take part in certain activities.
We appreciate that footwear can be an issue, particularly in bad weather. We would recommend that in wet or extremely cold weather students wear suitable footwear and change into their school shoes immediately on arrival. Their outdoor shoes can then be stored in their lockers until the end of the day.
To assist us in maintaining a safe and secure environment for our students, all students must always carry their Security/Diner Card.
All students MUST carry a Responsibilities and Expectations Card and their Security/Diner Card at ALL TIMES. Lost/stollen/damaged cards should be reported and replaced. Fees may be charged in line with school Charging Policy.
Students must always have three pens (two black/blue and one green) and a pencil. Students are also required to have a scientific calculator.
Sixth Form Dress Code
We adopt a policy of smart – non uniform dress code. Students are expected to be proud of their appearance and ensure that they remain a role model to students lower down in the school.
Students can wear smart trousers, smart jeans (no rips/frays) or skirts (no miniskirts). Leggings are not permitted as part of the uniform. Students can wear smart, tailored knee length shorts.
Students can wear smart shirts/blouses, polo shirts and jumpers. Round necked t-shirts and tight-fitting vest tops or tight-fitting dresses are not allowed. Tops should not be revealing. If a sweatshirt style jumper is worn, then there must be a collared shirt or polo shirt underneath this.
Hoodies and tracksuit bottoms are not allowed.
Footwear needs to be appropriate for a school environment and therefore flip-flops are not permitted.
Facial piercings are not permitted and only an ear piercing is acceptable. Tattoos are not allowed in school and if a student has had a tattoo, then it must always be covered.
Please note that if students are not wearing appropriate attire, they will be sent home to change. Parents will be contacted and either alternative clothes will need to be brought to school for students to wear, or we will send them home to change and then return to school.
