Uniform Policy

Pupils’ dress is an important aspect in reflecting our ethos of high standards of work and behaviour.

Our distinctive uniform aims to give a corporate and shared appearance for pupils and sets the scene for a business like approach to the school day.

We are proud of our students, their behaviour and appearance, both in and out of school and they are a credit to us. We intend to ensure that our standards are maintained.

We request that parents/carers support our uniform expectations as detailed in this booklet, by ensuring that their child/children are appropriately dressed for school, and support us in the use of sanctions for non-compliance.

Appearance

In addition to appropriate clothing, all students are expected to maintain a neat and tidy appearance. Students should meet the following expectations at all times.

Jewellery

Only small studs are permitted in the nose and/or each ear. For other visible piercings pupils must wear a clear, plastic retainer.

Where excessive jewellery is worn, pupils will be expected to remove it. Where the pupil is non-compliant, the situation will be managed in accordance with the academy’s Behaviour for Learning Policy.

The academy recommends that parents/carers do not permit their child/children to wear expensive items of jewellery in school. The academy will not be held responsible for loss of any personal items on school premises.

Hair

Hair must be of smart appearance and a natural hair colour at the discretion of the Senior Assistant Principal Behaviour & Welfare. Hair should not have any logos shaved into it. The final decision in individual cases will rest with the Senior Assistant Principal.

Tattoos

Under the Tattooing of Minors Act 1969, it is a criminal offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 years. With this in mind, the Academy does not expect pupils to have any tattoos. In a situation where a pupil does have a tattoo, they will be asked to cover it.

Religious Dress

Religious headwear should be black and no longer than shoulder length, and must not obscure the face.
