School Uniform
From June 2008
Through the school uniform code we
aim to:
- encourage pride in the school
- support teaching and learning and a positive work ethic
- enable students to be comfortable, safe and secure
- ensure that girls of different social, religious and ethnic
groups feel welcome
- encourage a sense of equality and cohesion.
All members of the community are expected
to uphold the values of the school and share its high aspirations.
All girls are required to wear the school uniform and high standards
of personal appearance are both expected and monitored.

Enforcement
of the uniform code
It is the responsibility of the girls
to adhere to the dress code. We anticipate parents’ co-operation
in ensuring that their daughter comes to school in the correct dress
code (see the Home School Agreement). Form Tutors are responsible
for monitoring the dress code; and all staff have a responsibility
for ensuring that students are correctly dressed in class and elsewhere
on the site.
Any girls not adhering to this code will be asked by their Form
Tutor (or any member of staff) to comply. Refusal to comply –
or persistent non-compliance – will be reported to the Head
of Key Stage, who may send the girl home to change into the agreed
uniform code. Parents will be contacted and a formal letter of non-compliance
will be sent home. If a girl continues to flout the agreed uniform
code, it will be considered a serious breach of discipline and the
matter will be pursued further with the Head of Key Stage and the
Assistant Headteacher (Community). The Pastoral Leadership Team
– and ultimately the Headteacher – are the final arbiters
of what is acceptable.
Issues arising
from the dress code
Girls should raise issues with their
tutor and/or the Head of Key Stage; they may also request that such
matters, including proposals for change, be discussed at the School
Student Council. Parents should raise any issues relating to the
dress code or other aspects of appearance with the Head of Key Stage.
Requests to vary the code for particular reasons, such as medical
needs, will always be carefully considered.
