- The PE kit is designed for body shape and comfort when playing sport and the table above is for recommendation, but one item must be worn from each row by every student

Uniform checks
Uniform will be visually checked daily by tutors, class teachers and staff on duty. Parents of any student in violation of the uniform rules will be communicated with quickly with an expectation that they uniform will be corrected the next day. Failure to comply will result in the student working separately from others until the situation is resolved.
We strongly advise that all students adhere to the uniform rules, do not wear jewellery and keep mobiles phones safely turned off in bags. We will fully aim to keep safely any item that is confiscated and return it as appropriate. However, in the event of loss or damage, the school cannot be held accountable. Please ensure that your child complies with the school rules.
We understand that there may be circumstances in which the wearing of an item is a matter of exceptional importance to a child’s racial identity or recognised religious belief, in this instance, please inform the school via your child’s tutor.
Hair and make-up
Hair styles should not be extreme. This would include shaved hair below a grade two or hair dyed to a non-conventional colour.
Make up should be discreet and subtle. Specifically, students should not be wearing coloured eyeshadows, winged eyeliner, extensive contouring/highlighting. When a member of staff judges that make up is not discreet, students will be asked to remove it. Nail varnish, gel nails or nail extensions should not be worn to school.
Jewellery
Students are permitted to wear discreet jewellery. Specifically, this means that students may wear one pair of stud earrings (with one being worn in each earlobe).
No other piercings are acceptable and students will be required to remove any other piercings. Bracelets and neck chains are also not permitted and students would also be required to remove them. Ear stretchers, facial piercings or body piercings are not allowed and students will be required to remove them.
Students may wear a traditional wristwatch to school. Students may not wear watches which allow communication with their mobile phone device.
Any jewellery in excess of a watch and one pair of stud earrings will be confiscated and held at Main Reception until Friday at 3pm.
Trousers and skirts
Skirts must be school regulation style (Banner Henley Black Skirt) e.g. with the double pleated front and knee length. We do not expect students to wear multiple pleated or excessively short skirts.
Shoes
School shoes should be : Black and leather (or leather like) traditional school shoes. They should not have noticeable branding. Trainer like shoes or boots or heels are not accepted. Please be aware that what shops define as ‘school shoes’ may not be acceptable. If in any doubt please consult with the school before making your purchase to avoid being asked to replace them.”
Mobile phones
Mobile phones should always be turned off and in bags. If a student is seen with a mobile phone we will confiscate, and parents will be contacted to arrange collection. Having no mobile phones during social times will allow students to focus on having conversations with their peers, becoming socially active and free from the worry of social media. This all promotes positive mental health.
