School Uniform & Equipment

We believe it is important that all our students should be of smart appearance and appropriately dressed for school. Our uniform policy is intended to be simple and economical for parents, while ensuring a sense of belonging and identity for our school community.

We work hard to consider affordability for parents, and limit the number of logoed items required. Financial assistance continues to be available upon request and subject to criteria being met. Please contact the school office if you require support with uniform costs. 

We run a termly Uniform Swap Shop, where parents can swap items of school uniform, including PE kit, for bigger sizes or simply collect an item that they need.  Further details and dates for our Swap Shop Evenings will be communicated to parents via MCAS.

    • Trainers, plimsolls, pumps and canvas footwear of any kind are not allowed.
    • Open toe or backless footwear should not be worn on the grounds of health and safety and all shoe laces should be tied correctly.

Please note:

  • Hoodies, tracksuit type tops and other non-school tops are not allowed in school.
  • No caps or hats of any kind can be worn on the school premises.
  • Nail varnish should be clear only, and false nails are not allowed in school
  • Extreme hairstyles are not permitted, this includes shaven or partially shaven heads or eyebrows, tram lines or other markings and unnatural hair colours.

  • Smart Watches are not allowed in school. Ordinary analogue and digital watches are allowed.
  • The ‘Tattooing of Minors Act 1969’ states that it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to have a tattoo. We would therefore request parental support in ensuring that students do not have any tattoos, either visible or not.

* Failure to comply will lead to confiscation in line with our school policy. On the first occasion of an item being confiscated, it will be returned to the student at the end of the school day. Should the item be confiscated for a second time or more it will not be returned to the student, and parents/carers will be requested to collect it from reception.
