Probably most of you will not have worn a tie as part of your school uniform before. Every year group wears a different colour of tie. Pupils starting in Year 7 September 2025 will wear a tie with blue stripes and stars, this will be 'your tie' until you leave in Year 11.
Here at Mount Carmel our pupils wear ties along with a white shirt, black blazer and slate grey trousers or a pleated skirt. Both boys and girls wear plain black knee length socks.
This uniform makes our pupils look very smart and makes them feel proud to be part of our school. We expect our pupils to wear their uniform correctly at all times.
Please make sure that all your items of uniform are labelled with your full name, so if we find any lost items we can return them.
Make-up and nail varnish are not allowed to be worn within school.
There is a full uniform list in the booklet your parents will receive along with details of the P.E. kit you need.
When you arrive on your first day at Mount Carmel, make your way to the front entrance where staff and pupils will direct you straight to the gym.
At 8.50am your new form teacher will take you to your form rooms and tell you everything you will need to know about your first day. They will give you a planner and your timetable.
All you need to bring on your first day is your bag to take books home in and your pencil case.
