School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting the tone for learning. It can help to:
• Encourage a sense of pride in the school
• Support positive behaviour and discipline
• Encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos
• Ensure pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome
• Protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way.
Following feedback from parents we have introduced an online ordering system via our suppliers, RAM leisure in Wrexham. This means parents can order direct for delivery to home and can order at times convenient to them rather than waiting for the school to bulk order.

Look Smart, Work Smart – UNIFORM
We expect all our students to arrive at school prepared for the day’s lessons. They will need to bring a school bag containing at least their planner, two pens, two pencils, ruler and an eraser.
Students are expected to have a work like appearance – For health and safety reasons and the potential risk of loss, school discourages the wearing of any jewellery for pupils. The ONLY jewellery pupils are permitted to wear are one small pair of stud earrings, a watch , one ring, any necklace should be tucked into the collar, or any religious adornment. They must be removed for PE and practical lessons.
Facial piercing is not permitted.
Hair should be of a natural monochrome colour. Hair should be no shorter than a ‘grade 2’ and without ‘tramlines’. Long hair should be tied back in practical lessons. If students do wish to wear make up this should be ‘natural’.
Acrylic or gel nails are not appropriate for school - they hinder students in practical lessons and are a health and safety issue.
Footwear should be plain black leather type shoes with black laces if worn. Trainers and canvas style shoes are not acceptable - see downloads at bottom of the page for examples.
