The School
uniform is designed to be smart and to offer security for
valuables. Uniform should be purchased from our recommended
suppliers:
Skoolkit -
23 Trinity Street, Fareham,
Telephone: 01329 822509, Email:
Fareham@skoolkit.co.uk.
Purchase elsewhere will introduce
different shades/styles that will negate the purpose of the
uniform. Nearly-new uniform is available to purchase in school.
If you are interested in having a look at what is on offer,
you may come along to the School between 3.15pm and 3.45pm
Monday to Thursday.
Full school uniform should be worn to and from school – including
jackets. When the weather is very hot pupils may take their
jackets off and carry them. Whilst wearing the Cams Hill
School uniform, pupils are representing the School in the
local community. Any behaviour outside school, whilst wearing
our uniform, 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 must 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.
From time to time pupils’ uniform is inspected and
those not properly dressed (without very good reason, eg
medical) may be sent home.

HAIRSTYLE
Hairstyling should be smart, plain and simple (not an extreme

colour dyes and highlights, shaved patterns, extreme cuts,
hair extensions braids and multiple plaits/braids are not
acceptable. The application 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

grounds).

a headscarf but not to wear a garment which covers the
face, eg scarf, niqaab/burqa.

in charge of the lesson. Logos must be unobtrusive and appropriate.

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. |
