School Uniform
Uniform
All students are expected to conform to the code of dress. We expect all students to take pride in their appearance and to dress neatly. If students are not in full school uniform, parents are required to provide a letter, and students will be issued with a non-uniform card for a short period until the uniform issue can be resolved. Those students who arrive at school not in full uniform will face a sanction if they have not brought a note from their parent/ carer.
BLAZER - Navy blue with school badge
TROUSERS - Students may wear long, tailored, plain trousers in dark grey, black or navy. Cord, cotton or denim trousers are not permitted. Skinny-style trousers are also forbidden. Students may also wear the same equivalent in shorts.
SKIRT - Students may wear skirts which are pleated and dark navy. Skirts must be worn at a sensible length, sitting just above or on the knee. Plain, natural, navy or black tights only are allowed when the school’s skirt is worn.
SHIRT - Students should wear EITHER a buttoned collar shirt with a school tie OR a shirt with a revere collar without a tie. Shirts must be white and long enough to tuck into skirts or trousers. Shirts may be long or short-sleeved.
TIE - The school tie is navy and emerald. There is a senior tie of a different design which students in Years 10 and 11 may wear. If students choose to wear a buttoned collar shirt, they MUST wear a tie. Those students who choose to wear a shirt with a revere collar are not required to wear a tie.
JUMPER (optional) - Plain, dark navy with emerald stripe at V-neck. Alternatives are not permitted.
SOCKS/TIGHTS - Socks should be plain black, white, dark navy or dark grey. Tights are allowed provided they are plain, natural, navy or black. Tights must be in good order and not laddered.
SHOES - Shoes must be smart, black, polishable, sturdy, weatherproof and of a sensible height, with a maximum 1.5 inch heel. No clear logo to be visible. For example:
Boots, plimsolls, trainers and pumps are NOT permitted.
COATS - All students should have a waterproof coat or jacket. Hoodies are not acceptable.
SUMMER POLO SHIRT (Optional from Easter to the end of September) - White polo shirt embroidered with the school and House logo.
JEWELLERY - Students are only permitted to wear one discreet flat ring, one plain thin, removable bracelet and one pair of plain stud earrings. One small plain nose stud is allowed. No other jewellery items should be visible. Clear and small retainers need to be used for any piercings that are not allowed to be visible.
Make-Up
Make-up should be discreet and natural in style. This includes the use of fake eyelashes. Nails should be a natural colour and, for safety, of a short length.
No other extremes of fashion are acceptable. Extremes of hairstyle or hair colour are not permitted. It will be the school’s final decision as to what is and what is not acceptable. If students or parents/ carers are unsure about the suitability of clothing for school, please contact the school before purchasing.
