UNIFORM POLICY

At St. Joseph’s we have a school uniform that all pupils are expected to wear.

We have very high standards in all areas of our school including the dress code.

It is important that all our pupils look smart and wear their uniform with pride.

We ask parents to ensure that their child is correctly dressed each day in line with this policy.

General

Only tailored trousers to be worn – not the various fashion types eg: bootleg
All items of uniform SHOULD BE MARKED CLEARLY WITH THE CHILD’S NAME
Girls skirts/dresses should be an appropriate length ie: just above or on the knee
Sensible school shoes - black or grey - NOT trainers
a coat - not a hoodie - should be brought to school every day in case of bad weather
NO jewellery except small stud earrings and / or a watch
NO make-up or nail varnish
NO extreme hairstyles eg: shaved shapes in hair, extensions, colours, mohicans …..

The Headteacher or child’s teacher will inform parents if a child’s hair is considered to be inappropriate for school and parents will be expected to take action to remedy it.
