Uniform Requirements
Uniform policy change 2023
Following our consultation regarding our uniform policy for September 2023, the school governors have approved the following :
From September 2023 all skirts should be knee-length and pleated.
In September, we will be strongly enforcing our uniform policy. If/when you buy a new skirt, you must make sure that it meets the uniform policy.
FAQ
- You can still opt to wear either tailored trousers (Not Leggings) or a skirt.
- Black opaque tights must be worn except in Term 6 where the summer uniform will be in place and white/black ankle socks can be worn.
- Local retailers stock different size fits of pleated skirts, including slim/plus fit sizes and longer length skirts. Our uniform supplier Trutex also supplies this style in 3 different lengths with different waist sizes including up to age 16+.
- We are not including skorts/culottes in our policy as our aim is to keep it as simple as possible to be clear and consistent about our expectations.In the past years we have allowed various styles of skirt to be worn, which has resulted in skirts not conforming to our policy of knee-length. Therefore to make it simple and clear to follow, only one type of skirt will be allowed.
