Appearance

 

There are a number of regulations aimed at preserving high standards.  Pupils or parents are advised to ask before rather than after about specifics if there is likely to be any doubt.  School is not the place for fashion clothing.

  • Jewellery is not permitted, except a watch and one small, plain ear stud per ear.
  • Make-up is not acceptable in lower years; if make-up is worn by older pupils, it must be subtle and not noticeable. If make-up is considered too obvious, your child will be asked to remove it.
  • Boots, trainers, open-backed or heels more than 2 inches are not permitted.  If pupils attend in inappropriate footwear, the school has a selection of black pumps that can be worn for the day.
  • Hairstyles should be neat and tidy.  Fashion variations NOT acceptable include ridged haircuts and excessive use of styling products or colour, dyes, dip dyes.  This list is not exhaustive.
  • Long hair (beyond shoulder length) should be tied back at all times with a dark, plain accessory.
  • All items should be named.
  • “Hoodies” should NOT be worn or brought into school at all.
  • Normal, dark navy, dark grey or black outdoor coats are acceptable but NOT denim, leather or brightly/multicoloured styles
  • All pupils require a suitable bag for carrying and storage of lesson materials, school books and PE clothing

ALL CLOTHING SHOULD BE CLEARLY LABELLED WITH PUPILS’ NAMES
