School Uniform

Rossett School believes that all students should attend school smartly dressed in a distinctive way and we expect all our students to wear the clothes specified properly. We feel that it communicates a sense of pride in oneself, the school and their family.

The school dress code should be followed at all times when in school or when representing the school.   It symbolises good standards and in preparing young people for the world of work, it is important for them to recognise the need for appropriate dress.

The main elements are:

Students must not wear jeans, corded jeans, denim jackets or clothes made from any distinctive material either in school or anywhere on the school campus.

Extremes of fashion are unacceptable.

Shirts must be tucked in, collars buttoned up and ties meeting the collar.

Plain, black shoes, which complement the school dress should be worn.  

Trainers are not acceptable. 

Parents should note that stiletto heels and backless shoes are not allowed.

No hats.

No hoodies.

It is essential that all items of clothing are clearly marked with the student’s name. This will enable identification and return if they are misplaced.

Bags

Every student needs a strong, suitable bag to carry books, equipment, PE kit, etc.

Outdoor clothing

We do not specify particular outdoor clothing but we will not allow any coats or bags which carry slogans or pictures which could be seen as offensive, or which appear to be supporting illegal activities. Outdoor clothing must not be worn in the school buildings.

Jewellery

Students may wear one small stud in one, or both, ear lobe(s). No other form of jewellery is allowed. This includes any form of facial or body piercing. Jewellery worn for religious purposes is allowed. Please note that parents and students are requested to respect the rules on jewellery and to have any new piercings at the beginning of the summer holiday to enable jewellery to be removed easily. Wrist bands/bracelets are not to be worn.

Make-up

Make-up is not allowed, including nail varnish. Hair colour and style must be appropriate for school. Extremes of fashion in length, style and colour may result in students being sent home. Before students have their hair dyed an unusual colour or adopt a different style, parents should consult the year staff to ensure that the colour and style will be acceptable. 'Tramlines' are not permitted.


Please note the details listed show what is currently acceptable in school. However we reserve the right to respond to changes in fashion and make changes to the above policy as necessary. We reserve the right to check departures from the accepted norms and to take appropriate action. Any parent who is unclear about our requirements must, in their own interests, contact the school before making a purchase.
