Glan-y-Môr uniform

Please see the following website links for the full details of our uniform and PE kits.

The school reserves the right to decide what acceptable uniform is and pupils are expected to be presentable at all times. Pupils who do not follow the school rules regarding uniform will be allowed to continue with their education but can expect to be isolated from their peers and the wider school community until they conform to the school rules.

Uniform must be worn when attending school or any organised function or trip. If any non-uniform item is to be worn, this will be with the approval of the Headteacher. Failure to wear correct school uniform may result in your child being sent home.

Piercing

Earrings: The school will allow one pair of small stud earrings. Hoops or long earrings present a health and safety risk and are, therefore, unacceptable. Small crystal/ bling earrings are acceptable, but large crystals are not.

The school will not allow tongue studs or any other facial piercings (e.g. nose studs, lip piercing etc.). The practice of placing a plaster over a piercing is no longer acceptable. Pupils, should they wish to, are encouraged to have new piercings made at the start of the summer holidays. This gives sufficient time for piercings to heal and allows pupils to comply with school rules when they are asked to remove studs on their return to school in September.

Pupils will be asked to remove piercings should they break school rules, and we reserve the right to confiscate items when there is persistent refusal to cooperate with school rules.

Hair colouring/dying

Pupils are allowed to dye their hair provided that the colours are ‘natural’. Any vivid colouring e.g. blue, pink, green etc.. is unacceptable. Pupils who colour their hair in unacceptable tones will be given the option to re-colour their hair but will be placed in isolation until the time that the hair is re-coloured.

Hair styles

Pupils are allowed up to a grade 2 on clipped hair. Tramlines are not acceptable. No Mohawks or Mohicans. Long hair must be tied back in practical lessons where there is a Health and Safety risk.

Make up/nail varnish and false nails

A small amount, “light dusting”, of make up is acceptable provided it is unobtrusive. Heavily made-up pupils will be asked to remove make up using wipes. Nail varnish is allowed provided colours are subtle and not vivid. Glazing, or natural tones are allowed. Pupils wearing bright/multi coloured nail polishes will be asked to remove it. Pupils wearing false nails that present a risk to the pupil or others will be asked to remove them.

Jewellery

A single small ring on each hand is acceptable as is a bangle on each wrist. However, pupils should be prepared to remove these items if requested to do so by a member of staff in a practical lesson or where there might be a Health and Safety concern.

Coats/Hoodies/Scarves

No denim or leather. Coats have to be plain (some piping is acceptable) with no slogans or large motifs. No vivid/DayGlo colours are permitted, though light coloured coats and jackets are acceptable. Coats and hoodies cannot be used as jumpers and must be removed once inside the school building. The exception to this rule is a black fleece, with no hood, with the school logo and a zip at the front that can be used as a jumper and worn in lessons. Scarves must be removed once inside the school building.

Shoes/trainers

All black shoes and trainers are permitted. Trainers and shoes should have no coloured flashing or stripes. Girls are required to wear shoes with a sensible heel that are suitable for school i.e. negotiating stairs and walking in crowds and that do not prove a Health and Safety risk. Boots are allowed in winter provided that they are worn underneath trousers.

Trousers and skirts

No black jeans or denim. Trousers and skirts are to be tailored (no lycra, leggings, jeggings or clinging material) and neat. Girls should wear skirts that are of an appropriate and modest length and that will not cause offence or embarrassment.

The list above is deliberately prescriptive. We do not wish there to be any ambiguity/confusion. As a school it reflects the views of pupils and staff. We hope parents will support us in implementing the uniform code. The school reserves the right to decide on what we feel is appropriate and suitable. We will endeavour to keep pupils in school and in education. However, we will regard regular failure to comply with school rules as defiance and will, where necessary, take an appropriate course of action within the framework of the school’s discipline policy.

Thank you for your support.
