Summary
A high standard of personal appearance is expected. Pupils’ hair, if long, should be tied back for practical subjects. All pupils’ hair should be groomed and not cut too short. As a guide, hair should be cut no shorter than a number 2. Extremes of hair fashion are not permitted, this includes dying unnatural colours, part shaving, hair braiding and extensions. No pattern or tram lines are allowed.
Whilst it is difficult to stipulate exactly what is and what isn’t allowed, the overall aim is to make sure that pupils look smart and presentable for school. Pupils are expected to be either clean-shaven or, if they maintain facial hair, it should be kept neat and tidy. Body jewellery is not allowed.
If you are unsure of any uniform requirements please contact school for clarification before making your purchases. If any disputes arise, the headteacher will make the final decision.
