Thank you for today’s UniformJust for Clarity
Blazers are needed at all times (including the Summer Term)
In School we insist on shirts being tucked in
Trousers are tailored and to the ankle (not above it or rolled up- obviously no leggings)
No tube skirts
New uniform- includes the tailored shorts and choice of tie- always worn to the full length- plain black socks or tights
One earring per ear
No facial piercings
No nail varnish or acrylic nails
Hair colour to be natural and no extreme hair cuts
No make -up
Astro Trainers
To clear up any confusion
If students wear skate shoes as their school shoes – these are not suitable for PE and Games
They should have trainers for their PE lessons
Ideally they should have Astro trainers or football boots for any time spent on the 3G pitch

Working Together – Good Communication
Please be aware that:
Secondary school is very different from primary
Our communication policy is on our website – we attempt to reply to all communication within 3 working days.
We will use our Website, Facebook and twitter accounts to post information, in addition to contacting you via Classcharts, email and text alerts
You can contact us using the [email protected] account or [email protected]
Miss Barber runs an additional drop in clinic- Thursdays after school
We have a brand new pastoral support advisor to support our Key Stage 3 students – Mrs Barber (Mrs B) [email protected]
Please do not come in and demand to see us, we will be in meetings, taking assemblies and teaching- we will arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience
We do appreciate our staff being spoken too politely at all times, especially our support and office staff.
