# WLCHS School Uniform

**Our uniform**

All students are expected to wear the school uniform and maintain the highest standards of appearance at all times.

We believe that the wearing of a school uniform is an important factor in establishing a pride in, and identity with our school, and at the same time minimises social divisions between students.

**Compulsory items**

- Blue school Jumper or blue school cardigan with school logo
- White polo shirt
- Plain black trousers –(jeans-style, low waisted, very flared, legging-style types of trousers are not acceptable).
- Black skirt, no higher than the knee and white socks.
- Plain black shoes  - Sensible plain black shoes must be worn that are leather or leather looking.

**Uniform Standards**

- Trainers must NOT be worn in school apart from in Physical Education lessons.
- For health and safety reasons no jewellery should be worn in school other than a watch. Earrings, nose, tongue, face, body studs/bars etc are strictly prohibited.

**PE Standards**

Physical Education is a legal and important part of a student’s education and therefore it is essential for students to have their PE kit for every PE lesson , this includes Gym, Canoeing and swimming lessons

There may be occasions where a student may not be able to participate fully due to illness/injury.

If a student is unwell or has an injury, they must bring a letter from their parent/carer stating the reason and where applicable the length of time that the student be unable to participate fully.
