Uniform & Equipment
School uniform is required of all students in Years 7 to 11. We have a simple, smart, practical uniform.
Students are expected to take pride in their appearance and to represent themselves and the school well in public. Hair must be styled so that it does not interfere with work. If hair is dyed it must be of one natural hair colour with no shaved sections. Extreme hairstyle fashions are not allowed. Make up and jewellery are not allowed except for one pair of small, plain stud earrings, worn one stud in each ear lobe. Other facial or body piercing is not allowed. Extremes of fashion must be avoided. We try to make sure that school dress does not become a distraction so that we can all concentrate on learning and teaching. Where pupils do not adhere to the dress code, they will be asked to amend their dress and may be sent home to do so. Sixth form students are not required to wear uniform, but they should dress in a sensible manner appropriate to effective study and to life in a school where other students are wearing uniform.

Stationery ordered for the start of a new academic year, will be handed out to tutor groups over the first few days back. If students do not receive items in the first week, they need to go to the Finance Office to collect the items and check the purchase. Students should not get into trouble for not having equipment in the first week.
The school also has a large selection of revision guides available via ParentPay, for a variety of subjects. Ideal for students in years 10 and 11.
