All pupils must wear the correct uniform to school, together with the appropriate kit for PE, food technology and design technology.
Pupils who attend school wearing the incorrect uniform will be loaned uniform for the day from our onsite school uniform shop.
Regular checks are undertaken to ensure pupils are wearing the correct uniform. For persistent non-compliance by individual pupils, – sanctions will be applied and communicated home (by phone, e-mail, text etc and logged on the e-portal). SIMS will be used to monitor the pupils in terms of uniform.
