Our Uniform

All children must wear the school coat and/or fleece to and from school. This is the only coat that is allowed to be worn for school and must be brought to school every day unless otherwise informed by us. We will not insist that school coats are brought to school after the summer half term break, but the decision as to whether or not your child does so is at your discretion. However, if children are to attend an out of school visit at any time (including local visits such as Gosforth Library), they must have with them their school coat or they may not be allowed to attend the visit.

If a child arrives at school not wearing the correct school uniform, he or she may face sanctions.

We expect children to come to school looking tidy and presentable. The wearing of jewellery and make up is forbidden, including on ‘non-uniform days’. Please ensure that any ear piercings are completed at least 4 weeks prior to the start of school in September (to allow the piercing to establish), as the wearing of ear rings is not permitted in school. Gel nails and nail varnish are also banned.

Watches are of course perfectly acceptable.  We reserve the right to decide what is a reasonable style and colour of hair. No avant garde, e.g.  shaved partings, stepped or patterned haircuts or shaved lines in hair, are allowed.  If you wish for your child to wear religious head wear, it must be plain black or navy blue. If your child has medium/long length hair it should be tied back.

Mobile phones should be switched off and not be visible in school. Smart Watches should not be worn in school.

Skirts and trousers must be of a traditional school skirt/trouser design and must not be too tight and/or too short (round about knee length is acceptable for skirts). We reserve the right to determine suitability for school. We ask for your co-operation in not allowing your child to wear denims, canvas trousers, jeggings or trainers for school. Plain, black boots can be worn only if the weather is poor during the winter. Please ask before you buy clothing items if you are in any doubt.

All clothes and personal property must be marked with the child's name - this makes finding lost items so much easier - and surprisingly most children do tend to lose things at some point in their school lives!
