School cannot accept responsibility for expensive clothing such as leather/denim jackets or expensive footwear. Trousers should be dress trousers - ski pants, jogging pants and jean-type trousers are NOT acceptable. Parents are advised to label their child’s belongings.
School cannot accept responsibility for expensive items such things as mobile phones, walkmans, I-pods etc. – therefore these should be left at home.
Jewellery and make-up are NOT allowed.
Students are expected to wear reasonable hairstyles. We discourage all extreme hairstyles, which include unnatural colours or uneven lengths of hair including ‘tram-lines’. However if a hairstyle presents a health and safety issue, particularly in practical activities this will be discussed with parents/carers, and students may be excluded from those activities.
It is expected that all students wear ‘black, sensible school shoes’. Trainers can only be worn for P.E. activities. Plimsolls are unacceptable.
All students wear green blazers at all times in school. During spells of cold weather students should wear a black ‘V’ neck jumper under their blazer or a warm coat over their blazer. It is not acceptable for students to wear hoodies or other sports tops under their blazer.
