The following items are NOT allowed:

  • Denim, either jeans or jackets
  • Hats, scarves and gloves should not be worn during resignation, in lessons or inside the school building
  • No black jeans or leggings
  • Hooded tops or jumpers
  • Sheer, low cut-tops or crop tops.

  • Over-sized brand names, slogans or logos

Sportswear 

Students studying sports courses or following the basketball programme must have the correct sports uniform. This is to be worn when training only. At all other times, business wear must be worn. Students must change and exercise good hygiene when moving between training and studying. We recommend showering and will ensure there is adequate facility for this.  Students taking part in sports courses and training must wear appropriate sports kit. There will be more information to follow on this.
