Students, parents and carers are advised to pay particular attention to the uniform details set out on our Uniform policy.

Students are expected to wear their full uniform, with pride.  This includes on the way to school and on the way home. Students must be clean and tidily dressed at all times.  All uniform should be kept in good state of repair, with no holes or rips. Shirts must always be tucked into skirts or trousers and top buttons should be fastened.

Uniform will be checked on a daily basis and any students not in correct uniform will be asked to change or wear uniform provided by the school. As a parent, you may be asked to bring in correct uniform from home if your child arrives at school inappropriately dressed.

We are currently in a transition period as we introduce new uniform.  The new uniform will consist of:

• Navy Blue Blazer - new logo
• Charcoal grey trousers or Tartan Skirt
  (skirt to be worn with black opaque tights, or black plain socks – No leggings permitted)
• Navy Blue Isca Tie

From September 2024 students in years 10 and 11 will be permitted to wear any existing uniform they have, however, only new uniform will be available to purchase from the school website.

In addition, all students require:

• Plain black formal shoes – leather, faux leather or vegan leather
  (please see the uniform policy for details).
• Plain black, white or grey socks, or black opaque tights.
• A white shirt with a top button suitable to be worn with a clip-on tie.

• Hair colouring, if used at all must be a natural hair shade.

• Eyebrows should have a natural shape, size and colour.  Students will be asked to remove fake eyelashes and any obvious make-up.

All students are expected to come to school with appropriate equipment; pen, pencil, ruler etc as well as any homework that is due for collection.  The Learning Resources Centre (LRC) sells a wide range of school equipment at very low prices, for example a biro for 9p.

Summer Uniform
From the start of the summer term (after Easter), students may wear charcoal grey tailored school shorts.  Shorts should be without cargo pockets or other additions.
During periods of extreme heat in the summer term, the leadership team may give permission for ties and blazers to be taken off.  This will be communicated across our school, and our social media platforms.
