and have taken the following steps:
- Sew-on badges are available from Baker and Son, these can be sewn onto a plain navy-blue blazer rather than purchasing the blazer as a complete item.
- We have kept the use of branded items to a minimum.
- The school’s uniform policy is published on the school’s website and is available for all parents, including parents of prospective pupils.
- We ensure that second-hand uniforms are available for parents to acquire.
- Information on second-hand uniforms is clear for parents of current and prospective pupils and published on the school’s website.

If there are persistent cases of uniform breach, then a student may be placed in the Behaviour Recovery Room or in another suitable location away from mainstream lessons depending on room availability.
