Students inappropriately dressed for school should be required to adhere to the uniform policy.   On the first day of every term, a full uniform audit is carried out.  If students are not correctly attired, they will be sent to the Reflection Room until the parents/carers can provide the item or a loan item can be provided by the school. 

School PE Kit

The PE Department operates according to the “Safe Practice in Physical Education and School Sport” published by the Association for Physical Education. Therefore, students will be required to remove all jewellery, tie hair back during lessons, tuck in shirts and tie shoe laces tightly. In the event of kit being misplaced students will be expected to bring a note from home and a full change of suitable clothing to wear until the kit is either found or replaced.  Spare PE kit will be lent if this is not possible.  If students are excused from PE, they should bring a note explaining the reason and length of time for their non-participation in PE.  Students will still be expected to bring their kit so they are appropriately dressed for the facility they are in as they must remain with the member of staff.  Students excused from PE lessons will take on other active roles within the lesson aside performer, such as a coach or official.
