What happens if I wear clothing not permitted?

During tutor time a student will be expected to change into borrowed uniform or shoes if we have the size available. If this is not possible, parents will be contacted to collect a student and bring them back to school in the correct uniform.
The school will work with parents that are trying hard to replace clothing or shoes. It is important that parents inform us.
Students persistently choosing not to wear the correct uniform will be sanctioned in line with WSE’s behaviour policy.

Outerwear: Coats or jackets must be plain, without large logos, smart and fit for purpose. No denim or leather jackets.
