Uniform

All pupils are expected to wear full school uniform and their appearance should be appropriate to a working environment. Shirts must be tucked in, top button fastened and ties worn correctly. If pupils are not in the correct uniform, and they refuse to borrow a replacement uniform, parents/carers will be contacted, and the pupil sent home to change. We ask all parents/carers to uphold the correct wearing of school uniform by their child and to support the school.

The Headteacher’s decision will be final in all matters relating to uniform, jewellery and hairstyles.
