The Governors consider personal appearance of the greatest importance AT ALL TIMES and all pupils are expected to be in full uniform, both at school AND on the way to and from school. It is the responsibility of all parents to ensure that their children arrive at school in accordance with the dress code of the school.
All articles must be clearly marked with the pupil’s name.

Haircuts
The Governors place a great emphasis on appearance and uniform.  One aspect of an acceptable appearance is the haircut.  This standard is difficult to maintain amongst the various fashions but we have clear rules - these refer particularly to boys. 
Hair should not be so long as to fall below the collar.
No ‘Skinhead’ or shorn hairstyles.
Hair should be cut uniformly all over without creating a crop or layered effect (there must be a visible covering of hair over all of the scalp).
No razor cut so as to create lines or designs across the hair or eyebrow
Nothing outlandish - in colouring and so on.
Wax / Gel cannot be worn on the hair.
Extensions are not allowed. 

Any hairstyle which does not conform to the policy will only be permitted if the pupil and his or her family, persuade the school that there is a genuine particular requirement based on ethnicity, religion or medical grounds for it. The grounds for such an exception would have to establish (in discussion with the Headteacher) that the ability to conform to the policy would be regarded as impossible.

NB:  Strong shoes covering the front of the foot are recommended for both boys and girls on the grounds of safety, particularly in the workshops.  Therefore, suede or canvas shoes are not permitted – they should be leather or leather substitute.
Price lists from a number of school outfitters are available from the School Office.
