Mobile Phones

​

We appreciate that, as parents, you may wish your child to have a mobile phone so that you can contact them after school. However, in school phones can be a distraction from learning and are not always conducive to a positive learning environment. The use of social media, messaging and texting can also be an issue that our pastoral team are having to deal with too often. We therefore have a policy that phones should be switched off in school (not just on silent) and be away in bags or blazer pockets. If a phone is seen or heard in school it will be confiscated. The mobile phone protocol gives more detailed information on the sanctions for not following our rules on mobile phones.

​

Shoes

​

You will all have a uniform list. A special mention needs to be made about shoes. Only black shoes are allowed to be worn in school. Not boots or trainers. Please beware of shops and your children telling you that certain footwear is acceptable. Trainers have trainer soles, shoes do not. Please speak to a member of the pastoral team, if you are unsure if certain footwear is acceptable for school. Students not wearing the correct footwear will be required to change them for a pair of appropriate shoes provided by school.

​

Hair

​

Hair should be of a reasonable style. Extreme hairstyles are not acceptable. We do not allow shaved heads, tramlines or extreme graduations of hair length. Only natural hair colours are permitted.
