We also welcome donated uniform which can be passed on to families in need.  The school considers government guidance  when deciding on requirements and cost of the uniform. 

​

PE UNIFORM

 

• All clothing must be official school PE uniform, bought from the school uniform suppliers. School PE uniform is:

• A black school polo shirt with the school logo.

• Black school PE trousers or shorts, with the school logo.

• School PE hoodie (optional)

• Trainers (football boots are optional when using the grass or astro)

• You may wear layers under your kit (such as base layers, skins or other jumpers) as long as the sleeves of these are black.

• You must bring PE uniform, even if you are excused from PE.

• You will be expected to take some part in the lesson, even if you are not ‘playing’.

• The only exception to this is if your injury prevents you from easily getting changed. (If you have a pot on your leg, for example)

• In cold weather, bring gloves and a hat (no scarves).

• If you do not bring your PE Uniform, you are expected to borrow clothing from us and participate in the lesson. Defiance is never acceptable behaviour.

​

Student Presentation

Students should wear their uniform with pride and always present themselves smartly.

​

We expect all students to borrow correct uniform in the morning if they arrive incorrectly dressed. Defiance is never acceptable behaviour.

Where a student or family requests adjustments are made to the normal school uniform policy on the grounds of any protected characteristic, these requests will be considered on a case by case basis taking into account all relevant guidance and legislation. Students should not wear uniform outside of the normal policy prior to any request being made, considered and responded to.
