Uniform

In General

All items of clothing and equipment must be clearly named so that any found can be returned to the rightful owners.

Long hair must be tied up when required for health and safety, for example, during practical lessons or PE.

Head coverings worn for religious or cultural reasons are permitted, for example a hijab or patka.  

Other items worn for religious or cultural reasons (such as a kautuka or kara) should be agreed with the HoH/HoY, but where these are generally considered to be part of a person’s religious practice or cultural identity they will likely be permitted.  Jewellery and other similar items must be removed if needed for safety reasons, for example during PE and Games.

Our school champions the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles, in accordance with the Halo Code.

School Uniform Years 7-11

Students must wear full and correct school uniform at school and when travelling to and from school. Please ensure all uniform is clearly labelled with the student’s name.

PE Guidance 

  • Kit must be brought in on the day it is needed and it should be taken home the same day and not stored at school.

  • Apart from being prohibited within the school, the wearing of jewellery (including wristbands) is obviously dangerous when participating in physical activities.

  • All items of value should be taken to PE lessons and practices and secured in personal lockers (you will need a padlock for this purpose). Under no circumstances should boys leave valuables in their clothing during PE lessons or practices.

  • The wearing of gum-shields for all contact sports is strongly recommended. For hockey, gum-shields and shin pads are mandatory.

  • If, for any reason, pupils are not able to follow the correct procedures, they must bring in a note to explain the problem, i.e. incorrect kit, off games etc.

  • Pupils who are off games should still bring in kit in case an appropriate alternative activity can be undertaken, unless prior arrangement is that they do not attend the lesson. If school kit is lost/unavailable, pupils should bring in non-school kit in order to take part in the lesson, together with a note of explanation from parents.

  • Pupils must use a combination padlock on their kit bag and their name should be clearly marked on the outside of bag.
