Footwear guidance

Footwear must be plain, all black shoes or trainers. No logos. No other colours should be visible. Training shoes are allowed as long as they meet the specification below.

Girls’ Shoes

Footwear must be plain, all black shoes or trainers. No logos. No other colours should be visible. Training shoes are allowed as long as they meet the specifications below (see footwear pictures above for acceptable trainer styles).

Examples of acceptable shoes shown below – buy only these styles – plain kickers allowed in styles indicated only: 

No pumps, crocs, high heels or boots. No stripes, logos, emblems, colours or coloured soles. No metal or plastic logos, metal or plastic bars in or through laces. If in doubt, ask before you buy!!

Please only buy styles similar to those indicated – no excuses will be considered. The guidance cannot be any clearer – ask if you don’t understand what constitutes plain black footwear!

The Head teacher reserves the right to make a final decision on what is deemed as acceptable! Those with a medical condition meaning they cannot wear formal shoes are allowed  to wear plain black adapted footwear…no other colours please.

Be aware any student who arrives in school in incorrect footwear will be expected to wear spare shoes provided by the school. Any student who refuses this concession will be placed in the Reflection Centre until the matter is resolved or they attend in the correct footwear. Often, hardship or failure to understand the guidance are offered as excuses to avoid wearing the correct footwear. The shoes we provide are clean, comfortable and well sanitised, so there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

School bags should be big enough to hold their planner, school equipment, PE kit and coat if they do not wish to carry this around. Coats should not be worn in the school building but can either be carried or placed in their school bag if big enough.

School bags should be waterproof, and please ensure that your child’s name is clearly marked inside in case of them being mislaid.

Please note that carrier bags are not acceptable and if you wish to discuss any problems you have with your child having a school bag, then please contact your child’s Pastoral Leader.

School bags are an important part of our school uniform and if your child does not have one, sanctions could be imposed.

We have extremely high standards and the rules around uniform and appearance are non negotiable.
