School Skirt Guidance/Examples

Please note:

• The only pieces of jewellery that students can wear to school are one small stud in each ear, a watch (not a smartwatch) and one ring. Jewellery will need to be removed for practical lessons.
• No nose, tongue, facial or body piercings are allowed. Students must refrain from wearing hooped earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery for health and safety reasons.
• Students should ensure that their nails are of an appropriate length (no longer than 3mm beyond the end of the finger) and be a natural colour. Students are not permitted to wear acrylic or false nails.
• Excessive make-up should not be worn
• Caps/hats should not be worn in lessons or around the School site
• Students should not wear trainers or other similar sports and designer clothing. Nike, Adidas and similar sports brands do not make formal shoes suitable for school, therefore, brands like these are not permitted
• The only jumper permitted is the optional official school grey jumper.

Students who persistently fail to meet uniform expectations may be referred to Student Services so that contact can be made with parents/carers and suitable sanctions put in place.

*Please note: sports brands such as Nike/Adidas etc do not manufacture school shoes. So please, when buying shoes, consider carefully if they conform to our Uniform Policy.
