We encourage our students to take pride in their appearance and expect all our students to wear full uniform throughout the school day, including on the way to and from school. We ask that parents support us in enforcing the uniform guidelines.

It is strongly recommended that all items of PE kit are clearly marked with the pupil’s name.
Pupils are also required to bring suitable footwear. Sports trainers must provide effective grip, support and reasonable protection for both indoor and outdoor sporting activities. Pupils who take part in extracurricular football or rugby squads will need to have boots, appropriate for the surface and conditions.
We strongly advise the use of gum shields and shin pads in hockey, gum shields for rugby and shin pads for football. It is the responsibility of a parent to provide their child with protective equipment that is fit for purpose. If required, pupils are able to purchase shin pads and gum shields from Student Services.
Please note: It is strongly recommended that all items are clearly marked with the pupil's name and form.
Jewellery
Permitted jewellery:
- Medical-aware or religious necklaces and bracelets
- Badges and awards given by the school
- Wristwatch
One pair of small stud earrings only. No other forms of body or facial piercing are permitted (an Elastoplast over a piercing is NOT acceptable).
Should items of jewellery be brought to school that are not permitted, the student should expect the item to be confiscated and returned at the end of the day from the rep (referral point).
Hair
Hair must be neat and of a natural colour and conventional style (no shaved lines or shapes). We would strongly suggest that parents discuss hairstyles and colours with the school beforehand if they are in any doubt as to whether they might be considered extreme. This will avoid potential issues.
In some subjects, students will be required to tie back long hair for safety reasons. Students should bring to school something for this purpose.
Make-up
If worn, make-up should be minimal and discreet. Nail varnish should not be worn.
If a student does not adhere to these rules, parents will be contacted by letter and/or by phone. The Principal's decision on appropriate uniform is final.
