School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting the tone for learning. It can help to:
•  Encourage a sense of pride in the school
•  Support positive behaviour and discipline
•  Encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos
•  Ensure pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome
•  Protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way.

Designed to ensure all students are dressed suitably and safely for all lessons/activities in school including practical lessons.

 Following feedback from parents we have introduced an online ordering system via our suppliers, RAM leisure in Wrexham. This means parents can order direct for delivery to home and can order at times convenient to them rather than waiting for the school to bulk order.

Look Smart, Work Smart – UNIFORM

Students are expected to have a work like appearance – For health and safety reasons and the potential risk of loss, school discourages the wearing of any jewellery for pupils. The ONLY jewellery pupils are permitted to wear are one small pair of stud earrings, a watch , and one necklace that should be tucked inside shirts, or any religious adornment. They must be removed for PE and practical lessons.

Hair should be of a natural monochrome colour. Hair should be no shorter than a ‘grade 2’ and without ‘tramlines’. Long hair should be tied back in practical lessons. It is a student’s responsibility to have bobbles to tie back long hair whenever directed by a member of staff for practical activities. Hair bands should be in school colour (black or purple).

If students do wish to wear makeup this should be ‘natural’. No artificial eyelashes or eyelash extensions are permitted.
