Uniform Expectations.
GUIDANCE FOR DRESS, including hats, caps, and bags.
This information is taken form the expectations in the School’s Behaviour Policy September 2025.
An ideal set of clothing for school, would be dark jogging bottoms or leggings, socks, sports shoes, a plain T-shirt, plain sweatshirt or one with a simple logo.
All items can be generic and can be purchased widely, including from second-hand retailers.
Shorts may be worn but should not be shorter than mid-thigh. Shoulders and midriffs should be covered at all times. If a “strappy” top is worn under a zipped up sweatshirt or zipped hoody, then no part of a pupil’s chest or stomach should be on show. Where pupils flaunt these rules, full length sweatshirts will be provided or jogging bottoms.
There is an expectation that pupils will NOT wear caps/hats or have hoods up (including coats with hoods) in classrooms or assemblies.
There is no need for a school bag. Pupils who bring a bag to school must NOT carry these around school. These should be handed in with mobile phones upon arrival at school.
Pupils must wear suitable and appropriate clothing to meet the demands of their school activities. There should be no offensive logos printed on clothing worn to school. If PPE is required for activities such as boots and overalls in Motor Vehicle Mechanics, then these will be provided and MUST be worn. Other examples include, but are not limited to; goggles in science or an apron in food and cookery or construction.
Pupils should be encouraged to wear appropriate footwear for sporting activities. Boys should not walk around school “topless” after activities such as kickboxing, even in very hot weather.
