Ties/Blazers - Friday 8 September
With the continued warm weather expected tomorrow (Friday), we can confirm that pupils are not expected to wear their blazers during the day. We do require pupils to bring blazers with them to school as equipment is generally kept in pockets and this could lead to pupils not having the right equipment during the day. There is no requirement for pupils to wear or bring their ties.
Uniform
We would like to remind you that, as per the uniform policy, pupils are expected to have clean, short fingernails with no artificial nails or nail products. Please can we ask that you use this weekend to rectify any nails that may have been left on following the summer break.
Jewellery
We have seen a growing number of pupils wearing jewellery. The College policy states:
· one plain ring
· no other wristwear other than a wristwatch
· Earrings - a small single stud is allowed in one or both ears. No other facial jewellery may be worn.
· No necklaces, chains or beads etc
From Monday 11 January, any jewellery that does not meet the above criteria will be confiscated and pupils will receive a tick on their proud card. Please encourage your children to leave all jewellery at home so that it is not lost, damaged or confiscated.
