Second Hand Clothing  

The school has a supply of good quality, second hand clothing which is available to parents at a nominal cost per item. There is no guarantee that the school will have all sizes available at any one time since all items are donated. Parents should ask about second hand items in the first instance when purchasing uniform to reduce the impact of the clothing production industry on the environment. Pupils who entitled to Pupil Premium funding may have any second-hand uniform items from school stock free of charge.  

Suppliers

The majority of the uniform is unbranded and can be bought from a wide range of retailers. Branded items such as jumpers and PE hoodies can be purchased from:

• J R Sports Otley

• Wharfedale Embroidery

Jewellery 

Jewellery is not permitted to be worn in school except for stud earrings and a sensible wristwatch – children should not bring into school ‘smart’ watches. If any jewellery or any other ‘ear-wear’ is worn into school, children will be asked to remove it.  

We strongly encourage parents who wish to have their children’s ears pierced to do so at the start of the summer holiday. This allows time for healing before the new school year. 

Please remove earrings on PE days. While taping earrings can help reduce the risk of injury, it is not as effective as removing them entirely. 

Children should not wear make-up or nail varnish. Temporary tattoos are also not allowed. 

Long hair must be tied back for PE and other practical subjects. 

Hair colours must be natural - no bold or extreme hair colouring is allowed. 

Visible lines/patterns/ symbols shaved into the head (including eyebrows) are NOT allowed. 

The head must not be fully shaved below a grade 2 (lower grades are permitted at the side and back) 

Hair accessories should be discreet in style and one plain colour only
