Appearance

It is expected that all students take a pride in their uniform and are well presented at all times. Hair colour and style must be appropriate for school. Length of hair should be such that it would be above the shirt collar and the scalp should not be visible. The length/style of hair should not require tying back. If in doubt, ask for guidance.

To maintain a high standard of appearance during the day students are not permitted to wear outer garments/coats in the building. Hooded garments are not allowed to be worn.

JEWELLERY, LASER PENS AND MOBILE PHONES

Jewellery of any kind, including ear-rings are not to be brought to school. Laser pens are not permitted in school. Any jewellery or laser pens will be confiscated and returned on receipt of a note from a parent.

Since we recognise the need for students and parents to contact each other at short notice on occasions, students are permitted to carry mobile phones but they must not be used whilst on the school site. Students who break this rule will have their phone confiscated and returned on receipt of a note from a parent. We insist that any messages or enquiries from parents are made through the school office, using the usual land lines, whilst students are on site.
