Tuesday 2nd September

All students are expected to wear correct school uniform, as it plays an important part in establishing a community spirit and also encourages students to take a personal pride in their own appearance. They are expected to wear it on the way to and on the way from school each day. The school expects that the appearance of all students will reflect credit on the individual, the family and the school itself.

Tie: Each boy will wear his House tie :

Caldecott – purple

Kent – yellow  

Simpson – green

Tait – maroon

Wheeler – blue 

Shoes: Black.  Not boots/trainers

Shirts and Collars: White

Jumper:       Navy blue V neck.  Please note – this is intended to supplement the school blazer, it is not intended to be a replacement for it.  

Blazer: Standard type, navy blue (not black) and single breasted, with badge. 

Trousers:     Black or dark grey trousers

Pupils should wear a smart, plain coloured outdoor coat; denim jackets or hoodies are not allowed. If a student wishes to wear something warm then they must wear a navy V-neck jumper under their blazer. We cannot accept responsibility for leather coats, jackets or other expensive fashion items.

Long hair should be tied back when in practical settings such as laboratories and workshops. Extremes of hair styles, shaved heads or patterns shaved into extremely short hair are not acceptable. An inappropriate appearance will not be permitted, and the Headteacher reserves the right to

decide the suitability of appearance and clothing for school wear, especially as fashions are constantly changing and particularly in response to any particular cultural/medical requirements.
