# School Uniform

#### **Our uniform**

All students are expected to wear the school uniform and maintain the highest standards of appearance at all times.

We believe that the wearing of a school uniform is an important factor in establishing a pride in, and identity with the school, and at the same time minimises social divisions between students.

#### **Compulsory items**

- Blue school Jumper or Blue school cardigan with school logo
- White polo shirt
- Plain black trousers –(jeans-style, low waisted, very flared, legging-style, belted etc types of trousers are not acceptable).
- Black skirt, no higher than the knee and white socks.
- Plain black shoes  - Sensible plain black shoes must be worn that are leather or leather looking.

#### **Uniform Standards**

- Trainers must NOT be worn in school apart from in Physical Education lessons.
- For health and safety reasons no jewellery should be worn in school other than a watch. Earrings, nose, tongue, face, body studs/bars etc are strictly prohibited.
- Hats may be worn to and from school and at break times but not in school during the school day.
- Face coverings may be worn for medical purposes e.g covid prevention mask

#### **PE Standards**

Physical Education is a legal and important part of a student’s education and therefore it is essential for students to have their PE kit for every PE lesson, regardless of illness or injury.

There may be occasions where a student may not be able to participate fully due to illness/injury.

The PE Department has, therefore, made it a policy that:

1. PE kit must be taken to every PE lesson.
2. If a student is unwell or has an injury, they must bring a letter from their parent/carer stating the reason and where applicable the length of time that the student be unable to participate fully.
