TROUSERS AND SKIRTS

    • Pupils should not wear ‘skinny’ trousers, jeans, jeggings, leggings or sports leggings: they are not appropriate for school. If a pupil is wearing any of these items, appropriate sanctions will be put in place and parents/carers will be contacted, so the issue can be rectified quickly.

    • Skirts should not be tight fitting or made out of stretch material. It is extremely important that skirts are the appropriate length. If a pupil is not wearing an appropriate skirt, appropriate sanctions will be put in place and parents/carers will be contacted, so the issue can be rectified quickly.

  • Socks and tights should be black or grey.
