COLLEGE UNIFORM
Parents, teachers and students work together to ensure that the highest possible standards are maintained in all areas of college life at All Hallows. A student’s willingness to wear the correct uniform accompanies an attitude to college which usually maximises success in learning and personal development. It also indicates a family’s commitment to the values and ethos of the college which is crucial to the growth and development of our young people. There are a number of good reasons for having a college uniform: It is a sign of commitment, pride and a badge of belonging to our college It is a way of avoiding an expensive ‘fashion contest’ in college It keeps young people focused on their studies It stops differences emerging between ‘those who have and those who have not’ The uniform, which is clearly described below, is compulsory for all students. The Head teacher and his staff reserve the right to determine acceptable standards of dress and appearance with reference to this uniform policy. The aim is to help students learn that dress codes are a fact of life, and that ‘dressing for success’ is a good preparation for adult and working life. All Hallows uniform is strictly enforced with rewards for students who ‘wear the correct uniform in the correct way’ and sanctions for those who refuse to conform. [See the Discipline for Learning Policy]. In cases where students arrive in college incorrectly dressed, parents will be contacted with a request to bring the correct items to college or there will be an expectation that loan items will be worn if available. Parents should provide their child with a written note if there is a good reason why (s)he is temporarily not wearing the full college uniform. In cases of hardship, parents or carers should contact their child’s Year Learning Leader for confidential advice. All college uniform items must be purchased through Trutex (formerly the National School Wear Centre) or Togs/Finese, Mill Street, Macclesfield to ensure correct styles and exact colours. All items, with the exception of a scarf, are compulsory. It is expected that full college uniform is worn correctly during the college day and on journeys to and from college. We are confident that our parents will always understand the need to support the college to make sure that our high standards of uniform are maintained. Please do not allow your child to persuade you to buy non-uniform items, as this will cause unnecessary expense and heartache. As the Headteacher has said on many occasions, it is vital that we as adults (college and parents working in partnership) help our children to grow and mature by setting clear boundaries of behaviour. In addition to the college uniform, students should have the following basic equipment for learning:
Pen, pencil, ruler, pencil case, eraser Calculator, protractor, Set Square and compass English Dictionary, Language Translation Dictionary (French-English / Spanish-English / GermanEnglish appropriate to language studied) Bible (modern translation, Good News or Jerusalem Bible) Design Technology Apron (obtained in college)
