If any students have sensory needs and our uniform policy causes problems for them, please contact the child’s Pastoral Manager to discuss what adaptations can be made for them.

We would also like to outline the following issues related to uniform and student appearance.

  1. Students not participating in active P.E. lessons are still required to bring their P.E. kit with them to school. Alternative arrangements will be made for these students.  Towels are required for showering - Please note that aerosol cans are not allowed on the premises, this means roll-on deodorants must be used instead of the spray variety.
  2. Students should not replace items of uniform with other fashion accessories, i.e. sweaters with hoodies, etc.
  3. Students should take pride in their uniform and wear it correctly. Coats and other items should not be worn as a replacement of the blazer/jumper.  This includes days where students wear PE kit.
  4. Shoes should be plain black and logo free. Black trainers are not permitted. Shoes with Velcro fastenings are allowed.  Slingback, boots, or clog type footwear are not permitted. Canvas type footwear is not appropriate, as during the winter months students’ feet become wet and uncomfortable throughout the day.  This has resulted in a number of cases where students have had to contact parents to bring alternative footwear into school. Trainers may not be worn in School at anytime. They should not be worn to and from School.  A Doctor’s note is required for the wearing of trainers for medical reasons.
  5. The approved skirt is a black knee length pleated design. This must not be tight fitting and the hem of the skirt must be on the knee. Trousers must be straight leg only. Skinny fit or tight trousers are not acceptable.
  6. Jewellery is not permitted except for one pair of small gold or silver studs earrings worn in the ear lobe (no jewels). Other piercings are not allowed.
  7. Cosmetics other than a discreet amount or mascara or foundation for girls should not be worn. Eyebrows should be natural and not tinted.
  8. Nail varnish and nail extensions are not allowed in school. Students are involved in many activities and again, nail extensions can cause injury.
  9. Excessive hairstyles, shaved patterns, panels or lines, non-natural hair colour and false eyelashes are not permitted.
  10. Any student whose appearance represents an extreme of fashion, as determined by the Senior Leadership Team, will be deemed to have isolated themselves from the school until their appearance is suitable.
  11. Breaches of uniform may constitute: (examples only)  Incorrect footwear, Non regulation skirt or trousers, Shaved patterns or extreme hairstyles, Jewellery, piercings other than in ear lobes, non-natural hair colour, bracelets or charity bands.  For such breaches students will be deemed to have removed themselves from mainstream school until their appearance is deemed acceptable.  For repeated instances the School Exclusion Policy may then be applied.
  12. Temporary breaches of uniform must be supported by a parental signed note. The note must also be countersigned by the student’s Pastoral Manager.  This will count as a first instance.  For a second instance in each half term students will be deemed to have removed themselves from mainstream school until their appearance is compliant.  For repeated instances the School Exclusion Policy may then be applied.

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.   Possible reasons for not authorising permission may be as follows; forged note, deliberate attempt to deceive or violate the rules.  There may be other reasons that will apply depending on particular circumstances.

Please note pre-loved uniform items can be obtained from our uniform ‘swap shop’ for a voluntary donation.  Please email reception@charlton.uk.com for further details.

We thank you for your support in ensuring a consistent approach, which will hopefully support all children.  If you are in doubt about any aspect of school uniform, please consult the school before making a purchase.
