Non-Regulation Items

 

Students who wear incorrect uniform should bring a note from home and present this to their Head of House on arrival at school. The student will be issued with a uniform pass. Students without a note may have non-uniform clothing impounded or given a clean replacement item to wear.

 

Non-approved jewellery which is impounded is kept in a locked cabinet in the office and can be uplifted by the student’s parent or by the student at the end of term.

 

Non-regulation clothing is named and stored in the office and is returned to students on the next mufti day or at the end of term, whichever comes first.
