Uniform Policy

Students’ dress is an important aspect in reflecting our ethos of high standards of work and behaviour.

Our distinctive uniform aims to give a corporate and shared appearance for students and sets the scene for a business like approach to the school day.

We are proud of our students, their behaviour and appearance, both in and out of school and they are a credit to us. We intend to ensure that our standards are maintained.

We request that parents/carers support our uniform expectations as detailed in this booklet, by ensuring that their child/children are appropriately dressed for school, and support us in the use of sanctions for non-compliance.

Sir Christopher Hatton Academy UNIFORM GUIDE

In addition to appropriate clothing, all students are expected to maintain a neat and

tidy appearance. Students should meet the following expectations at all times.

Jewellery Only small studs are permitted in the nose and/or each ear. All other visible piercings must be removed. Where excessive jewellery is worn, students will be expected to re-move it. The academy recommends that parents/carers do not permit their child/children to wear expensive items of jewellery in school. The academy will not be held responsible for loss of any personal items on academy premises.

Accessories

In cold weather, scarves, gloves and hats may be worn outside of academy buildings; they must be plain black. Hair accessories/bands/bandanas should be plain black and discreet. If students need to wear a belt, it must be plain black.

Hair Hair must be cut in a formal style. Hair colour should look natural. Unnatural colours such as pink and green etc. are not permitted. Closely shaved hair, excessively spiked hair, and patterns/designs in hair are not permitted. If parents are unsure if a particular hairstyle will be permitted by the academy, please contact us prior to restyling taking place. Long hair must be tied back for practical lessons. The final decision in individual cases will rest with the Principal.

Tattoos Under the Tattooing of Minors Act 1969, it is a criminal offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 years. With this in mind the academy does not expect pupils to have any tat-toos. In a situation where a pupil does have a tattoo they will be asked to cover it.

Religious dress Religious headwear should be black and no longer than shoulder length, and must not ob-scure the face.
