Uniform
Excellence - Ambition - IntegrityThe Governors and all members of staff consider personal appearance of the greatest importance. All pupils are expected to be in full uniform, both at school and on the way to and from school. It is the responsibility of all parents to ensure that their son arrives at school smartly dressed in full uniform and with the correct equipment. It is not possible to address all permutations of changing fashion in our uniform policy. We therefore ask that students and parents/carers work with us in relation to the “spirit” of the policy.
The expectations of the uniform policy are that students’ uniform, haircut and shoes reflect the dress code for a conservative office work environment. By this, we ask that students are dressed smartly with their ties worn in a manner that covers the buttons of their shirts, that they wear traditional shoes and have a traditional, conservative haircut.
If pupils are not dressed in correct school uniform they must produce a dated note from their parents/carer explaining why. This note should be presented to their form tutor who will sign their planner. If a pupil arrives without this note from their parent/carer, uniform will be loaned to them from the Pastoral Support room. Refusal to co-operate in wearing uniform will result in a pupil being withdrawn from the school community and parents/carer contacted.
Our Uniform Provider is School Zone.

The school notes the advice and guidance of the Equality and Human Rights Commission on preventing hair discrimination in schools and shall consider this when making a determination on the school's haircut policy.
