Uniform Reminders
· Jackets/coats/hats/caps/scarves are not allowed within the buildings. Students can wear their coats outside and on their way to school however, we expect students to remove these items on arrival into school. If a student is found to be wearing their coat/jacket/hats/caps/scarves repeatedly it will be confiscated and placed at Reception. Students are to collect items at 3pm. Hooded tops are not permitted in school with the exception of the PE hooded top.
· Jewellery for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students in school is restricted to one pair of studs for pierced ears (only one in each ear lobe), one plain flat ring, a watch and one bracelet (this includes charity bands). No other facial or body-piercing of any kind is allowed in school for students in Year 7-11. 6th Form students should have no extreme piercings or tattoos.
· For health and safety reasons, students are not allowed to wear any jewellery that may get caught (including necklaces) and cause injury during the busy school day. As a school we feel also that excessive jewellery is not appropriate to the smart appearance we are promoting. Any jewellery confiscated for the first time will be returned at 3pm the following day on production of a note from home. Further infringements will lead to lengthy times of confiscation and sanctions.
· Hair colour, style and make-up must be appropriate for school. If make-up is excessive, the students will be expected to remove it. Hair must be natural in appearance therefore dyed or coloured hair such as red, blue, bleached or peroxide blonde etc. is unacceptable. Hair should not be shaved lower than a grade 3. Styles with a shorter back and sides, compared to top, must be blended.
· Coloured nail varnish is not allowed. If a student arrives to school with coloured varnish they will be asked to remove it for the next day. Nails must be short for Health and Safety reasons (e.g.—Technology and PE lessons).
· Trainers are only to be used for PE lessons and on the All Weather Pitch (no other footwear should be worn on the All Weather Pitch). Trainers are not suitable or smart enough for regular uniform. At lunch time or break time students playing sport may wear trainers, however, students must change back into school shoes before entering the school buildings.
· If students come to school wearing trainers, parents will be contacted to bring the student a change of shoes. If this cannot happen then the student will spend the school day with their tutor. Students who wear their trainers and yet have their school shoes with them will have their trainers confiscated. If the shoes are broken and therefore not available we would appreciate being kept informed. A note from home is essential, and we would expect the situation to be resolved as soon as possible.
· Students who arrive in school and do not adhere to the school regulations on uniform (e.g they are wearing trainers or unsuitable trousers) and the issue cannot be addressed before the school day begins, will be isolated for the day with their tutor.
· Sixth Form students at Millom are role models for younger students, whom they will come in to contact with throughout the school day. At Millom School we allow Sixth Formers to express themselves as individuals, this emphasises the need for suitable attire. Sixth Form students should ensure their overall appearance is in keeping with the working environment of a school which holds high standards of all students.
