Students are expected to wear full school uniform at all times with no exceptions, this includes on their journey to and from school. If your daughter does not have correct uniform on, she may be sent home. If there is a legitimate reason that she does not have her full uniform, please contact the school via phone or provide her with a note to explain why she does not have it and when she will be provided with the item(s).

Hoodies, sports tops/jumpers, trainers and hats/bandanas are not permitted at any time and will be confiscated.

The school will not be responsible for the replacement or reimbursement of any non-uniform items that may be lost or stolen.

All hairbands and accessories (headbands, clips etc.) should be plain black or dark green. We do not allow students to wear false nails or nail varnish. We strongly discourage students from wearing make-up and therefore it should be subtle/unnoticeable if it is worn.

Students are permitted to wear one pair of stud earrings and a wristwatch (not a smart watch). No other forms of jewellery are allowed. This is for health and safety reasons and also to prevent loss and potential upset. If a student arrives at school wearing them, they will be told to remove them or be sent home.

(Please do not allow your daughter to have a new piercing during the school year as there is not sufficient time for it to heal and we will ask you to remove it; any new piercings should be done at the start of the Summer holiday to allow this healing time).

Equipment and Stationery

Students will be provided with all exercise books and any text books or subject specific equipment they might need.  If students lose their exercise books, or any other school property, they will be expected to pay for a replacement.  This also stands if a student causes any damage to school property or equipment.  All students are expected to take pride in their school environment and look after school property.

Student are required to bring the following equipment to school every day:  

• Pencil case containing a minimum of 2 pens (blue/black)
• 2 pencils
• ruler
• rubber
• sharpener
• a purple coloured pen.

If your daughter loses any of this equipment, or it runs out, parents will need to replace it.  However, we do have a stationery shop in school that is usually cheaper than shops.

You must purchase a scientific calculator for your daughter.
