School Uniform

There are six principles which inform our uniform policy and dress code.

• be comfortable, easy to work in and practical

• provide value for money by being both competitively priced and of good quality

• emphasise and enable consistency i.e. there should be uniformity

• be easily accessible for all students and families

• provide a healthy and safe environment for the body either indoors, outdoors or both

• make it easy to distinguish sports and PE wear from “normal” clothing.

Summer Delivery

We recommend all orders are placed by 1st August 2024, for delivery before the start of term.

What compulsory items do I need to purchase from the supplier?

We are keen to minimise expense for our students with only a limited amount of time left at the school, so our Year 10 and 11 students (in September) will not be required to purchase and wear blazers but can if they wish to. We have reduced the number of compulsory items that need to be purchased from our supplier.

There will be only three compulsory school items that must be purchased from SWI (FR Monkhouse Ltd)

• School blazer - Junior Sizes (£26) and Senior Sizes (£29)
• House tie (£6.25)
• Performance short sleeve PE top - Junior Sizes (£13.50) and Senior Sizes (£16.80)

The following logoed items are also available (however, these may be bought from an alternative supplier providing all items are plain black with no branding logos, stripes or colours)

• Black PE shorts
• Black PE skort
• ¼ zip long sleeve PE top
• Girls PE training legging
• Unisex PE training track bottoms
• Plain black (non-logo) sports socks
• Belts, if worn should black, functional, and fit through the loops of trousers.
• Tights, if worn, should be plain, natural, grey or black. • Fashion items are not permitted.
• A suitable school bag (large enough to carry exercise books) with a fully stocked pencil case
• Casio fx-83gt plus calculator is highly recommended

In addition:

• Hair should not be extreme in terms of style or colour. Any final decision will be at the discretion of the Headteacher.

• Coats/jackets must be removed in school.

• Shirts must be tucked in, buttoned and ties worn in the traditional manner.

• Facial piercings are not allowed. Body piercing is highly discouraged, should not be visible or of a type which endangers health and safety or prevents students from participating in lessons.
