It is essential that all students in Years 7 to 11 own a calculator for use in both Mathematics and Science. It should be permanently marked with your daughter’s name, as the school cannot be responsible if it is lost.

We recommend either:- Casio FX83GT plus (battery) OR Casio FX85GT plus (solar) Both calculators are reliable and easy to use and contain all the necessary functions for GCSE and are available from our school uniform suppliers. In addition, either will suffice for A-Level although more advanced calculators are allowed and can be bought at this stage.

For current students, some second hand uniform can be obtained from “New to You” available at the school. Please ask at reception. There is a selection of blouses, blazers, skirts, jumpers etc.  Any proceeds made from “New to You” are donated to the PFSA.

THE DRESS CODE – for the Main School
Our uniform reflects our professional attitude to our school and our work. If you have not followed the Dress Code, you will be given replacement items from school stock for the day or until you sort the problem.

Hair – Hair should be neat and tidy and of one natural colour. We do not allow extreme styles or colours. For Health and Safety, you will need to tie your hair back for practical lessons: Science, Drama, Design and Technology, Art and PE.

Jewellery – One small stud per ear in each ear lobe is allowed, but no other piercings. No other visible jewellery is allowed other than a watch and a discreet religious symbol on a chain, worn inside the shirt.

Makeup – Discreet makeup is allowed. You will be asked to remove excessive makeup.

Nails – Students should not wear coloured nail varnish. This includes “Shellac”, gel nails or any other trade names. You will be asked to remove inappropriate nail varnish.

Skirts – Skirts should be worn no more than 5cm above the knee and of a non-stretch material. For the new uniform skirts must be worn at the knee. Correct school skirts can be purchased from our suppliers.

Trousers – Regulation trousers as supplied by our outfitters.

Shoes – Shoes should be plain black, and of a smart and sensible design with enclosed heels and toes. High heels, stilettos or platforms are not allowed. Boots of any type are also not allowed.

Socks – Socks should be white, black or grey/navy (depending on which uniform is worn) with no other colours allowed and worn at the ankle or below the knee.

Tights – Tights must be plain and not patterned, with no footless tights or leggings. They may be black, grey or natural if wearing the old uniform; or black, navy or natural if wearing the new uniform. It is a good idea for students to have a spare pair in case tights ladder during the day.

Blazers – Blazers should be worn between lessons and when walking around the school. Where any student infringes the dress code and the item cannot be changed/removed in school parents will be contacted to collect their child to rectify the situation.

DRESS CODE FOR MAIN SCHOOL, FOR TRIPS, OFFSITE EVENTS, ACTIVITIES RESIDENTIALS AND NON UNIFORM DAYS

Clothing for day visits and residential trips must be smart casual.  This means that beachwear is unacceptable.  School uniform may be required on certain visits, as notified by the trip leader.

This code also applies to any non-uniform days, unless otherwise instructed.  All other normal school rules relating to uniform and appearance remain unchanged.

• No shorts (with exception of off-site trips/residentials in the summer term where mid-thigh length shorts only may be worn i.e. no ‘short’ shorts and no denim).
• No shoestring / strapless tops / vest tops/ bare midriffs.
• No flip-flops or shoes without a strap to support the heel.
• No leggings to be worn, unless covered with a long-length top or skirt, or are sports leggings
• Jeans are acceptable but must not have holes or tears
• No dresses and skirts with holes or tears
• Dresses and skirts must be of an equivalent length to school skirt requirements
• No fancy dress, unless part of a themed day (e.g. World Book Day)

Anyone who does not follow the regulations on non-uniform days will be sent home to change.

For day trips, you may be refused permission to attend the trip if your clothing is unsuitable and does not adhere to the code above.

For residential trips, staff have the right to ask you to change if you do not adhere to the above dress code.
