How can you purchase the uniform?
Skirts and Trousers
These can be purchased from any supplier. However, items NOT purchased from the College must be indistinguishable from the standard school skirts and trousers.
| Boy/Girl – Trousers | Skirts- pleated/straight | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Waist measurement | 25” to 42” | Waist measurement | 22” to 38” |
| Inside leg measurement | 26” to 36” | Knee Length | 18” to 24” |
NB: All skirts must be an appropriate length – knee length. Skirts which are deemed to be too short – will not be acceptable. Trousers must also be long enough to sit on the top of shoes and not be ankle length.
Approved Suppliers
Please check back periodically while we await confirmation of pricing from the College’s approved supplier.
We recommend you buy the uniform through the College supplier to ensure that these meet the College expectations and to avoid an item of uniform not meeting requirements. However, these items can also be purchased from alternate suppliers, should you wish to do so.
Jewellery
A watch is permitted. No rings, bracelets or necklaces are allowed. For pierced ears small studs or sleepers (gold or silver in colour); Studs in noses or any other part of the face are not allowed.
Hair
Hair must be of natural colour. If the hair is below shoulder length then it should be tied back for all practical lessons or where health and safety require it.
Shaving of any part of the head is not accepted. Number two is the shortest accepted cut, nor is the use of gel allowed to create unusual styles.
Make up
Coloured nail varnish is not permitted in school. Gel or acrylic nails or shellac polish are also not permitted. Light make up may be worn to give a natural look. Excessive make up will be removed.
