Other information:
Hoodies are not allowed at the college and will be confiscated and kept in the house office. Also:
- alternative sweatshirts/jumpers/cardigans are not to be worn
- coloured t-shirts are not to be visible under the school polo shirt or shirts
- Students are not to ‘wear’ head/earphones/ear pods or have them hanging from clothing
Maintaining Standards
If students are not in full, correct uniform they can expect one or a combination of the below to be applied:
- If students are not in the correct uniform by 9.15am, they will be offered a loaned item to wear from their House office. If a student refuses this, they could be subject to isolation from free time and lessons.
- A lunch time detention will be sanctioned if students are wearing their uniform incorrectly (e.g., shirt untucked, coat hood-up in corridor) after tutor time.
- Prohibited uniform items (e.g., hoodies, head/earphones etc) will be confiscated.
Exemptions
Religious, SEND or complex medical needs that require an alteration of uniform should be discussed with the College in the first instance.
Students will only be given permission to remove school ties in exceptional circumstances and therefore should expect to wear these as normal. They will be informed in school if they can remove their tie.
SVC Uniform Bank
We hold a limited supply of second-hand uniform in school to support any family in need (see Padlet below). Please only request items from the stock list that your child needs to wear “now”. If you would like any items from our stock, please contact your child’s Student Support Assistant (SSA). Any stock items that are brand new will be charged (via Parent Pay) as £2. All other stock items are free of charge.
Similarly, if your child has outgrown any current SVC uniform items, your donations would be gratefully received in good condition and washed before handing to Main Reception for the attention of V. Kirk.
