The
school uniform is designed to be smart, to offer security
for valuables and to take
account of the need here for pupils to move outside the main
building in cold weather to access temporary buildings. It
is available from the School, on publicised sales days, at
substantially reduced cost from the retail price, or from
the recommended supplier, Skoolkit -
23, Trinity Street, Fareham, PO16 7SD ; Telephone: 01329
822509.
Please be sure to purchase from Skoolkit as purchase elsewhere
will introduce different shades/styles that will negate
the purpose of the uniform.
A second-hand uniform shop has been established by the School & Parents
Association (S&PA).
Full
school uniform should be worn to and from school – including
jackets. When the weather is very hot pupils may take off
their jackets and carry them. Whilst wearing the Cams Hill
uniform, pupils are representing the School in the local
community. Any behaviour outside School whilst wearing our
uniform and which brings the School’s reputation into
disrepute, will result in disciplinary action by the School.
Where a pupil is, by necessity, sent to school with incorrect
school uniform, parents/guardians should give the child a
note addressed to the Form Tutor explaining the reasons.
This will be initialled by the Form Tutor and presented to
staff on request during that day.
Spare items of uniform are kept in School and pupils (where
appropriate) will be required to wear these in order to be
suitably dressed for School. Items are to be returned at
the end of the day.

ear lobe. If pupils have piercing requiring them to wear
additional
jewellery, such as nose studs, extra ear studs, eyebrow
studs, tongue studs, they will be told to remove them during
the

up.

such that it cannot be noticed. All other rules (as above)
apply.

group of pop culture statement). Un-natural hair

of one or two plaits, use of hair grips/bands (girls) and
use of a clear hair gel is acceptable. If in doubt, please
consult with the School before allowing your child to change
his/her hairstyle. (There may be a variation to this Policy
in some circumstances – for example on religious grounds).
Hats/Caps – When
ultraviolet (UV) levels are high, pupils may wear a plain
hat/cap (small logo) outside to protect

will be sent home. Please pay particular attention to girls’ shoe
height and trouser style.

Mouth
Guards - All parents are advised to provide a mouth guard

through chemists and the School. (Financial support given
to those experiencing hardship – please contact the
Head of Year entirely confidentially.)
(Pupils
coming to school with incorrect PE kit three times in
one term will incur a detention.
Pupils coming to school with no PE kit will be given an
active PE Detention on a set night after school) Note on Footwear:
In a Report commissioned by the Education Service it cites
inappropriate footwear as being a significant factor in the
increase of risk involved in outdoor games. Children who
have no traction are inclined to slip. They may bang their
heads, fall on wrists and arms unexpectedly and may strain/tear
muscle fibres. Pupils cannot hope to perform competently
and feel embarrassed by their seeming lack of balance and
ability.
Please ensure that you supply your son/daughter with studded
footwear.
