First impressions matter and our school is judged on the appearance as well as the behaviour of our students. The uniform code promotes safety, decency and equality. It is important that we work together to maintain our standards and uniform is checked frequently to ensure it is worn correctly. The uniform is easy to purchase from the mail order catalogue provided. However, parents are free to purchase from the uniform shop, Identity Kits, in Wells.

To support families experiencing significant challenges with the purchase of uniform, we have put the following in place

• Uniform Exchange Scheme: In partnership with our fantastic PTA, we provide a free uniform exchange, allowing families to acquire or swap items. Keep an eye out for specific dates this summer

• Financial Assistance for Uniforms: Recognising significant challenges, we offer a one-off payment of up to £70 per student to help with key uniform purchases. Applications for this support are available exclusively from June until the start of the academic year. We encourage families to apply before purchasing items for swift review and confirmation. To access the form please select link.

• Students with pierced ears may wear one simple plain stud or small hope.

• Inappropriate jewellery will be confiscated.

Legal Clarification

The Uniform and Appearance Policy has the same status in law as our School Rules and Expectations.

DCSF guidance, which was clarified in January 2007, makes it clear that sending a child home to correct uniform is perfectly acceptable. This will be recorded as authorised absence. However if a child stays off for longer than needed to correct their uniform or appearance this will be recorded as unauthorised absence.

Lost Property

All named uniform and kit is returned immediately it is handed into the office to the student concerned – (hence the importance of ensuring that all uniform is clearly named).

Lost Property is held by the school office for one full term. It is then displayed in the foyer for students and parents to view. Any unclaimed items are then donated to charity.
