Uniform will be checked daily upon arrival at school. Incorrect uniform will be corrected at that time. Pupils with uniform matters that cannot be rectified at the start of the day will be given time to correct their uniform and this will be recorded on a uniform card. Tutors will work with families to establish the barriers and issues around individual uniform matters. Persistent breaches of the uniform policy, despite support and solutions provided, will be dealt with according to our behaviour policy.
