St Margaret’s House Colours

House badge colours do not change from year to year and so will remain:

• Sheepshanks: Blue
• Roydon: Green
• Walton: Orange
• Crossley: Purple
• Preston: Red
• Langton: Yellow
• Miller: White

Wear your uniform with pride.  Students who wish to succeed show pride in their appearance and prepare fully the night before to be in perfect uniform each day. If a student requires a uniform adjustment due to medical reasons, then evidence must be provided. Being in perfect uniform means:

• School blazer with school badge
• School tie in year colour
• Plain black v-neck knitted jumper 
• White collared shirt (tucked in)
• Black school trousers (not joggers, tracksuit bottoms or jeans)
• Plain black socks
• Black polishable school shoes (not trainers)
• PE football shirt 
• Plain black PE shorts
• Red PE socks
• Apron for some lessons – DT / Art

If a student breaches any part of our uniform habit, they will either be given temporary uniform to wear or will be placed in Reflection until their uniform is corrected

Arrive equipped to learn to every lesson

Students who wish to succeed understand that for any important task in life, we need the right equipment. Students can purchase stationery from student services every day before school, at break and at lunch.

Being fully equipped means everyday students bring:

• At least one black ballpoint pen
• At least one green ballpoint pen
• Scientific calculator (recommended: fx-83GTCW)
• 15cm (or 30cm) ruler
• At least one pencil
• An eraser
• Whiteboard pen
• Highlighter
• Glue stick
• Clear pencil case

Second-hand may be available on request- subject to availability. Please contact student services to enquire. Families are encouraged to donate any useable second-hand uniform, to add to the school’s pre-loved stock. 

Hair Rule

• Hair colour and style must be appropriate for school. Hair can be worn longer, as long as it is neat and tidy. For Health and Safety reasons, longer hair must be tied back at all times with a plain black hair bobble. Additionally, hair that is over the eyes must be clipped back during school hours.

Appearance

• It is expected that all students take a pride in their uniform and are well presented at all times.

Jewellery, Laser Pens and Mobile Phones

• Jewellery of any kind, including earrings are not to be brought to school
• Laser pens are not permitted in school

Any jewellery or laser pens will be confiscated and returned to parents.

We recognise that students may wish to carry mobile phones for use on their journeys to and from school. For this reason, students are permitted to carry mobile phones in school, but they must not be used on the school site. Students who break this rule will have their phone confiscated and returned at the end of the day by their Head of Year or Dr Silverstone. They will also be issued with a 30-minute detention. If a parent/carer needs to pass any message on to their child during the day, please do this by calling the school office.

Loss of Personal Property

The Governors do not accept responsibility for the loss of, or damage to, personal property including bicycles on school premises. Every reasonable care will be taken by the school to ensure the safety of students’ property.

New Intake each September

Further information regarding the purchase of these items by intake students will be sent to parents during the summer term after their admission to the school has been confirmed.
