Uniform
It is important for you to present yourself appropriately when you are in school. Our uniform sets the standard the school expects and is appropriate for a place of work. Excessive make up, coloured nail varnish and extreme hairstyles are inappropriate for a school. For safety reasons, no earrings are allowed but, you can have one stud in each ear and a wristwatch may be worn. No other jewellery is allowed, including necklaces, wristbands, nose studs and other facial piercings (including tongue studs). You will be asked to remove these items if you wear them to school.
All staff will reinforce the dress code as this an integral part of the TGS Way.
● Failure to adhere to the dress code (Appendix C) will result in parents being made aware of the issue by email or telephone. Where a pattern is identified for minor uniform infringements or a repeated issue occurs then social time will be removed. Parents are expected to inform the Tutor if they have sent a student to school, wearing clothing that infringes the Dress Code. Learning Mentors will make a note in the Planner for short-term problems other than trainers. Appropriate uniform will be lent to a student if available and Plimsolls are provided unless there is a genuine medical problem,accompanied by medical evidence of the need to wear alternative footwear. (Appendix C)*
● Repeated defiance of the dress code will result in internal exclusion and/or suspension.
● If any family requires support with uniform, then please contact the Student Support Manager and Learning Mentor team for assistance.
