Headteacher’s Letter – 5th June 2023
Monday 5th June 2023
Dear families,
I trust you and your family are well and have been able to enjoy the good weather during the break. I also hope the students have been looking forward to their return to school and the start of the final half of the summer term.
Uniform
We expect our students to uphold high standards in the wearing of uniform. There is no room for personal interpretation as the list of acceptable items is clear, however I would like to highlight the following points:
- students attend school in their PE kit only if they have a PE lesson that day. The kit is the royal blue tracksuit with the blazer worn on top. Shorts are not to be worn during the day. Students can use the changing rooms at the start of their PE lesson if they need to wear any different items.
- no other jacket or top can be worn as an alternative to the school blazer. Hoodies are not acceptable and should not be worn in school.
Students who come to school dressed incorrectly may, if there is no adequate reason, be sent home to change or parents contacted to bring in the correct items. Sixth form students must also comply to the uniform policy. A reminder of the full uniform list for all years can be found on the school website HERE.
Water Bottles
Last term all students were issued with a Stepney All Saints water bottle. As the weather has become warmer can I please remind families that students are advised to bring in this or their own water bottle that can be filled up at the various water fountains around the school.
