LABELLING OF CLOTHING
All clothing and equipment should be named on the inside of the garment. No clothing or equipment should be borrowed without the owner’s consent. All clothing should be neat and tidy and kept clean.
HAIR, MAKE UP AND JEWELLERY
Hair must be its uniform natural colour and cut in an orthodox manner in Years 7-10, tied back if otherwise it would reach the collar. Highlights are not allowed in Years 7-11.
In Years 7-11 make-up, chains, bracelets, rings and other jewellery are not allowed. Earrings in Years 7-11 must be studs and the studs may only be small gold, silver or pearl round balls (Only one earing in each ear lobe, no cartilage piercings)
At Sixth Form level, pupils may wear make-up and jewellery which is unobtrusive - ie a single ring, non-pendant earrings in the earlobe and/or a single gold or silver chain necklace. The Head of Sixth Form will give guidance and these privileges will be withdrawn if abused.
SCHOOL UNIFORM AND APPEARANCE
The dress and appearance of pupils must at all times reflect well on the individual and the school.
Pupils are required have a high standard of personal hygiene and clean shaven.
School uniform should be worn neatly while attending school and in travelling to school unless an explicit exception has been made by a member of staff. Hoodies must not be worn with school uniform.

Uniform must always be worn in detention.
The wearing of games kit in the Dining Room is not permitted, save on specified occasions when tracksuits should be worn.
Uniform must be worn until 5.30 pm on weekdays and into all weekday meals except supper.
Hats and caps and other items of casual clothing may not be worn with uniform at any time.
Boarders may wear informal clothes in supper (but not hats) and on Saturday and Sunday, except for formal school engagements, fixtures, team teas etc. A mixture of informal clothes and uniform is not allowed.
All items of uniform must conform to the school regulations. Outer garments – raincoats, anoraks etc – must be smart, dark in colour and without logos. Pupils who cycle to school should wear a reflective strip. The wearing of cycle helmets is strongly recommended.
All clothing and equipment should be named and no clothing or equipment should be borrowed without the owner’s consent. All clothing should be neat and tidy and kept clean.
