Uniform
Uniform should be worn at all times, including to and from school. All items should be marked with the pupil’s name.
The school adopted a Uniform Policy in 2023 which broadens the supplier choice for many elements of the uniform, to try to limit cost for parents and carers.

Note 1 (Jewellery)
All jewellery must be removed for physical activity. The rules for PE are based on advice from the Health and Safety Executive and Physical Education Association. As a matter of basic safety, students are required to remove their earrings and all other jewellery items such as watches, necklaces etc. for the duration of the PE lesson. To ensure that no injuries occur, all pupils must adhere to this ruling. Due to the physical nature of the subject, earrings in particular are a major concern as they can be easily caught on equipment or other students, and can cause injury and bleeding to the student wearing them or their peers.
We do not allow pupils to use tape to cover up earrings, as mentioned above all jewellery must be removed for every PE lesson.
The school always puts student safety above other considerations. It is therefore essential that if students wear stud earrings to school, they are of a type that they can easily removed. The school cannot be responsible for lost jewellery. If you are unsure about any aspect of this please speak to your Head of Year.
Clarifications
If you are unsure about any aspect of this please speak to the Head of Year. If a member of staff feels that what a student is wearing is inappropriate, they will ask the student to address the issue. This may include them going home to get changed.
