Our College Uniform policy relies on the support of parents. The ‘contract’ between the College and the parents, makes it clear that parents are obliged to provide the required College uniform. All items, with the exception of shoes, overcoats and bags MUST BE purchased from the College Shop. All students are required to wear the regulation PE kit for PE and Sports which must be purchased from the College Shop.
BOYS
¨ College dark navy blue suit
¨ College tie
¨ Blue and white striped shirt (long or short sleeved)
¨ Navy blue V neck sweater with logo (optional)
¨ Navy blue/black plain socks
GIRLS
¨ College dark navy blue suit (tailored jacket with pleated kilt) worn at the knee with neutral tights or navy blue ankle socks
¨ Blue and white striped blouse (long or shirt sleeved)
¨ Navy blue V neck sweater with logo (optional)
¨ These items must be purchased from the College Shop. If parents buy trousers or shirts elsewhere, the College reserves the right to send children home if the item purchased elsewhere does not match our regulation uniform especially in colours.
Boys’ and Girls’ Shoes
Shoes must be plain black and leather and must not come beyond the bottom of the ankle. Boots of any kind are not allowed. Only flat heels are allowed. Heels over 2cm at the highest point are not allowed. No platforms, sandals, trainers, fashion, 'Kickers' or patent leather shoes are allowed. Shoes must conform to one of the designs shown in the College Uniform Brochure.
P.E. Kit
All students are required to wear the regulation P.E. kit for P.E. and Sports. All P.E. clothing must be purchased from the College Shop. The College has a ‘corporate’ track suit which can be purchased as an optional item of uniform.
Bags
Students will need a large plain navy blue or black bag in which to carry their College books and materials. NO logos are allowed.
Socks: 'Slouch' socks and over the knee socks are not allowed.
Hair: A student’s haircut is a very important part of their presentation. The College will not accept students having extreme haircuts, e.g. patterns shaved into the hair, shaved hair less than a grade 2 etc. Colour change can be made as long as it is natural, i.e. all over and within normal colour boundaries. Subtle highlights are acceptable. Students possessing extreme haircuts will not be permitted into lessons. Hair bands must be blue or black.
Make-up: Discreet make-up is allowed from Year 10 only.
Jewellery: Students are allowed to wear one stud in each ear lobe, a watch and one small signet ring. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets etc. are not allowed. No other jewellery is permitted especially nose studs. There should be no visible piercing or tattoos.
This list is for illustrative purposes only and in the end the College will decide what is acceptable uniform, not the students or parents. A full colour brochure is available showing pictures and giving details of correct College uniform. Students not in full College uniform may not be allowed into lessons and may be sent home to change if their apperance is considered to be inappropriate.
