Uniform

Thank you in advance to all parents who will support us by purchasing clothing that removes the potential for conflict and enables us all to focus on the more important matters of teaching and learning. We would like to remind you that shoes should be plain black, shirts should have a proper collar to enable the school tie to be properly worn and all skirts should be at least ‘knee length’. 

We expect all students to wear school uniform.  We firmly believe that it establishes the identity of Humphry Davy School and encourages a sense of pride in that identity.  Full and correct uniform must be worn at all times and in an appropriate manner. A high standard of appearance is expected and all parents are asked to ensure that their child is correctly dressed and in full uniform at all times. All uniform should be named. Students who are persistently dressed incorrectly for school will not be allowed to join their classes for lessons unless they borrow correct uniform from the school. In any instances of conflict or disagreement the final decision rests at the Headteacher's discretion.
