Secondary uniform

Most uniform and equipment can be purchased from supermarkets and general uniform suppliers. Items marked with a * need to be purchased from our supplier www.skoolkit.co.uk.

Hair

We expect hair to be neat and tidy, with long hair tied back.  We ask that those with long hair wear black or blue hair bands, bobbles or clips.

Nails and earrings

We expect girls with pierced ears to wear plain gold or silver studs (thereby keeping the one hole per ear, open).  These will be covered with micropore tape or taken out when necessary during games lessons.  There should be no other piercings. It is important that nails are kept short and clean, and we expect no nail varnish to be worn.

Exceptions

Health requirements, eczema for example, are thoroughly acceptable reasons to allow agreed changes to uniform in specific cases.  Following these uniform expectations also allows us the freedom to vary them for dressing up days and other special occasions.

Make up

Make up is prohibited in school, except very discreet make up may be worn in Year 10 and 11.
