Students will be challenged by staff in cases where the standard of uniform has fallen below that expected. Our expectations of students as they move around the site during the Academy day include:

  1. Blazer on
  2. Blazer sleeves rolled down
  3. Blouse tucked in
  4. Skirts not rolled / tucked up
  5. Coat removed when in building

Only one simple, plain gold or silver ear stud per ear is permitted.

Piercings anywhere other than the ear lobe are not acceptable. Spacers are not permitted.

 

Hair is to be of natural colour only - not dyed - and simple in style (no braided or shaved styles). 

Sanctions linked to incorrect uniform

In rare cases where the presentation of a student’s uniform is not in line with the high standards expected, students will be sent to reflection until correct uniform is worn.  Parents will be contacted and students released from reflection if correct uniform is then provided.

Students who have lost their house lanyard will receive a tick on their negative impressions card, under lack of equipment.

With respect to hair styles, colour and false nails, students will remain in reflection until the issue is resolved. 

 

Please note that staff will not make special dispensations for the cases highlighted above and it is the responsibility of the parent/carer and the student to ensure that such situations are avoided. 

Parent notes/medical notes for uniform

If a student has a medical reason for the need to wear modified footwear, a medical note supplied by a doctor or medical practitioner must be provided.

It is important that all parents/carers should realise the necessity of marking all garments and possessions clearly with their daughter’s name.
