As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we would like to extend our thanks for your continued support in raising the standards and expectations of our pupils. Your involvement and commitment are crucial to our collective success.

As we approach the summer break, we would like to remind everyone of our uniform expectations for September. A key aspect of our uniform policy is the requirement for pupils to wear black polishable shoes. Please take note of the following important details regarding acceptable footwear:

1. Polishable Black Shoes: Pupils must wear black polishable shoes with no visible logos. Branded shoes such as Nike Air Force or similar equivalents are not permitted.

2. Incorrect Footwear: Pupils who arrive at school wearing incorrect footwear will be required to work separately from their peers until appropriate shoes are worn.

3. Medical Exemptions: Any request for a concession due to medical reasons must be accompanied by valid medical evidence. This documentation should clearly state the need for alternative footwear and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

We understand that you may sometimes see pupils leaving school in trainers and think that we have accepted that as part of our uniform. Please rest assured, this is not the case. We are actively working to rectify uniform issues with families, and pupils are given the opportunity to change or, where possible, provided with appropriate shoes to wear for the day.

If purchasing appropriate footwear is difficult for you, please contact your child’s year team so we can discuss the support available.

Thank you for your support in ensuring that our pupils adhere to our uniform expectations. Uniform helps maintain a sense of unity and discipline within our school community.
