Clarification of student dress.
After listening to your concerns and speaking directly with the student council, I am aware that there has been some confusion over what is and is not allowed in school. Please find below a comprehensive list of items that are acceptable and ones that are not.
I have listened to you regarding t-shirts and am happy to concede that t-shirts can be worn as long as they have no logo on them / are plain and tidy in appearance. The list below has been agreed in conjunction with your student council and should help you decide on what you put on every morning!
|
NOT ALLOWED |
ALLOWED |
|
Short skirts (anything above the knee is too short) |
|
|
Short dresses (as above) |
|
|
Anything see through (trousers, dresses, tops) |
|
|
Short shorts and sports/ beach shorts |
Shorts that are knee length and smart or tailored |
|
Leggings |
Tights that are worn with appropriate dresses or skirts. (Tights will not need to be worn with appropriate length shorts) |
|
T shirts with large logos |
T shirts that are smart |
|
Flip flops |
Sandals as long as they are attached to the foot via straps etc and don't "flop about!" |
|
Track suits/trackies |
|
|
Joggers |
|
|
Vest tops Tops with spaghetti straps, Singlet style boys tops Tops that are too revealing (crop tops etc) |
Sleeveless tops when worn with cardi, jacket, shirt (top must not show underwear) |
|
Underwear on show |
|
|
Hats in lessons |
Jeans |

Pumps, trainers, boots |
The golden rule is - if you are questioning its suitability, it isn't suitable - so please don't wear it for school.
Thank you
