Wolstanton High School Uniform Policy from September 2017 It is our policy that all students wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We hope that parents and carers will support us in our high expectations for school uniform. Our policy has been established based on the following principles: Students wearing uniform are dressed suitably for the work of the school day. The uniform is practical and smart. It has been designed with Health and Safety and value for money in mind. The wearing of the school uniform promotes a sense of pride in the school and engenders a sense of community, team and belonging. The uniform makes students feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance and removes peer pressure to dress in designer fashions;
Blazer Shirt/Blouse Tie Jumper (optional) Skirt Trousers Footwear Black with school badge must be worn to and from school and throughout the school day. Plain white (not patterned) with a stiffened collar, top button and capable of taking a tie (polo shirts or fashion blouses are not acceptable). School tie which is available from school only. A plain black V neck jumper with full length sleeves may be worn under the blazer for additional warmth. This is optional. It may not replace the blazer.

No alternative piercings are allowed. Bracelets, bangles, rings and other items of jewellery must be left at home. Medical alert tags where required, must be worn at all times.
Non-compliance with the School Uniform Policy The wearing of school uniform is one of the basic expectations for our students. In the event of any student arriving at school without the correct uniform: We will contact parents / carers to request that the correct item of uniform is brought into school or where this is not possible, we will seek consent from the parents/carers to send the student home in order to address the issue. The student should then return to school wearing the correct uniform. If parents/carers are unavailable then the student will be kept in isolation for the duration of the school day. Students will not be allowed in normal circulation wearing incorrect uniform. Appropriate work will be provided by the student s teachers throughout the day. Contact will be made that day with parents/carers to ensure that the student wears the correct uniform the following school day.
