Breaches of our uniform expectations are dealt with in line with our behaviour policy being mindful of our ability to provide support as outlined below

Support with uniform costs
Students who grow out of branded uniform are able to bring these items into the Uniform Exchange scheme and exchange smaller uniform for a larger size/different fit for a small fee where stocks allow.  Support for students in receipt of pupil premium is also available. 

Mobile phones
Mobile phones, smartphones etc are not permitted in school. Phones must be switched off before 8:45am and not be heard or seen. Students are not permitted to use their phones to record or film around school. Any student found doing this will be asked to delete any material in front of a member of staff and may have their phone confiscated for return to a parent.

Music players/ earphones
Music players and earphones are not permitted in school. Students must remove these before 8:45am and all earpieces should be kept out of sight. If they are visible, they will be confiscated and made available for collection at the end of the school day.
