Uniform
A reminder that minor adjustments to our uniform policy take effect from September:
JEWELLERY: Students are only permitted to wear one small pair of stud earrings. No other jewellery should be worn and valuable items should not be brought to school.
TIES: We have begun introducing different coloured ties to distinguish between year groups. From September, this will only affect students joining the school in Year 7. Existing ties will remain the same for all other year groups. A different coloured stripe will be introduced for each new intake of Year 7 students over the following four years, until all year groups have been assigned their own stripe colour.

Attendance
Our aim for every student is that they attend 100% of their lessons. Gaps in learning caused by days off school are a drag on any student’s achievement and, whilst we understand that there are some circumstances where absence is unavoidable, you should do everything to ensure your child’s attendance is as close to 100% as possible. Our successful attendance incentives programme will resume in September, with prizes available to students who demonstrate improved, or maintain strong, attendance.
