Uniform

You are expected to come to school clean, tidy and suitably dressed in the approved uniform. It is important that you take a personal interest in your appearance as by doing so you create a pride in yourselves and your school.

The following regulations will help you be sure about what you can and cannot wear.

• Extremes in the style of hair are not acceptable.
• In principle jewellery should not be worn to school. If ears are pierced then one small stud or sleeper is acceptable.A simple chain and medallion (such as a crucifix) is acceptable but should not be visible.
• Only one ring will be permitted, although it is better if none are worn. One charity bracelet can be worn, but no others.Students should not wear make-up, although a little discrete foundation is tolerated.
• Casual sweatshirts, hoodies and similar tops should not be worn to school.
• Training shoes and other casual shoes must not be worn.
• If a belt is worn, it should be plain and black.
• All clothing and personal property must be clearly marked with the owner's name.

If you break the uniform rules, you should expect to be punished by a detention without warning. Therefore, if there is a good reason why you are not able to wear the correct uniform, you must have a note from your parent or carer explaining this.

Remember: a neat and tidy uniform shows that you care about yourself and your school.
