Uniform and Appearance Policy
School Uniform All pupils are expected to wear the Ramsden Hall School uniform which consists of the following: A sweatshirt with the school logo and / or A polo shirt with the school logo Black coloured trousers and black shoes All items (except the trousers and shoes) can be purchased from the school office. An optional black blazer may be worn with the school cloth badge which can be purchased at school. It is advised that uniforms are labelled in order that clothing can be identified in the event of loss. Day pupils attending school without uniform will be taken home at the earliest opportunity and may not be returned unless wearing the required clothing. This applies also to those pupils who refuse to wear the uniform but should be for no longer than it takes to remedy the situation. This will not be recorded as a period of exclusion but as an Authorised Absence. Should a pupil continue to breach the uniform rules in such a way as to be sent home to avoid school or takes longer than necessary to effect the change then such absences could be recorded as unauthorised. In the event that a pupil repeatedly breaches refuses to wear the school uniform then a period of fixed term exclusion could be considered. The school will of course be considerate and sensitive where there is good reason for a pupil attending school without uniform through no fault of his own. Boarders will have access to a daily laundry service to ensure that uniforms and other clothes can be kept in a clean condition. The PE kit is provided by the school without charge. |
Jewellery
For reasons of Health and Safety the school requires that pupils adhere to the following policy: Pupils must not wear rings as these may cause injury Any pupil wearing a neck chain should keep this concealed under their school uniform and remove this when taking part in sporting activities No form of body or facial piercing is acceptable, including tongue piercing or Flesh Tunnels Small stud earrings are acceptable but the school reserves the right to ask pupils to remove these or cover them up during PE or other sporting activities Hair The school encourages pupils to be expressive and have a sense of personal style. It is important however that pupils do not seek to draw negative attention to themselves by dressing or styling their hair in a way that may cause offence. Parents and carers are therefore asked to consult with the school if they are in any doubt as to the appropriateness of a new style. For reasons of Health and Safety pupils will be required to tie back long hair in lessons such as DT and Food Technology. |
