Uniform

Years 7-11

Points to remember

In the summer months, the Head of Learning may advise the non-wearing of blazers due to high temperatures.

Outdoor coats must be Plain Black or Navy blue – no logos or patterns. Military style coats, badges, jeans, denims, sports and T-shirts are not allowed. Fabric “hoodies” are inappropriate as school coats as they are not water-proof, and are not permitted in any colour.

Trainers are for use in PE only and should not be worn at any other time.

Sixth Form: Clothes should be smart at all times and suitable for an indoor, academic and working environment.  You should feel happy to attend a job interview in what you are wearing.  Full details are given in the Sixth Form dress code document.

School Bags: These must be large enough to hold books, folders and, when applicable, PE uniform.  Handbags are not appropriate for this and so are prohibited from school.

PE and Games

Physical Education and Games are prescribed for all pupils as part of the National Curriculum and it is an important part of the school’s policy on uniform that all pupils have the correct kit for these lessons. Please ensure that your child is always suitably equipped for PE and Games sessions.

Points to remember

On occasions where for reasons of injury or illness a pupil cannot participate in a Physical Education lesson. PE staff cannot accept a continued non-participation without appropriate medical certification. Parents are requested not to send in notes requesting pupils to be excused from PE lessons for periods of more than one week without first consulting a medical practitioner.
Lack of PE equipment will not be accepted as an excuse for non-participation in practical lessons and might well result in a pupil being placed in a detention.
