Uniform Regulations

  1. Skirts (summer and winter) and coats must be knee-length or below.  Please allow  for your daughter's potential growth when purchasing these items.                            
  2. Pupils should not come to school wearing trainers, canvas or fashion shoes.  The girls must wear the School blazer or coat to and from school.  The School coat must be worn from October to February; it may also be worn at other times; it may or may not be worn with the blazer.  
  3. A plain grey or white or black scarf is permitted instead of the school scarf.
  4. Summer uniform (i.e. Summer skirt and blouse) MUST be worn by Yrs 7-10 in the second half of the Summer Term (June and July).  It MAY ALSO be worn in the first half of the Summer Term (i.e. April and May) and the first half of the Christmas Term (i.e. September and October).  This allows for the vagaries of the British weather.  The school purple cardigan may be worn as an addition to the v-neck sweater with winter uniform, or on its own with summer uniform.   A plain white belt, a belt made from the summer material or the purple purse belt may be worn with the summer skirt and blouse as long as it is of a reasonable width.
  5. In winter, girls wear black walking shoes suitable for school with a low heel and black or grey short or knee length socks or natural/flesh coloured, grey or black tights.  When summer uniform is worn, girls must wear ONLY white socks OR white or flesh coloured tights, with black shoes or black or white sandals.  Other colours are NOT acceptable with summer uniform.
  6. For the summer uniform parents may, if they prefer, obtain the material from the school and make up the article according to the approved style only.
  7. Fashion footwear is not allowed for PE - it can be dangerous. Girls should wear PE socks for all PE activities.
  8. All pupils are expected to be neat and tidy in their appearance. Hair styles should also be neat and tidy, in keeping with school uniform. If hair is coloured artificially, it may not be dyed a colour which hair cannot be naturally.
  9. All articles of uniform should be clearly marked with the pupil's name.  Skirts, blouses, jumpers, coats, blazers, scarves, dresses and all items of P.E. kit should be marked by name tags securely STITCHED on and also if possible in indelible pencil marking on the label.  The P.E. bag should be marked on the OUTSIDE.  In addition, the track suit top and trousers and the PE shirt should have the pupil’s SURNAME and INITIAL of CHRISTIAN NAME printed or embroidered in letters no less than two and a half centimetres high on the outside.  The PE skirt and shorts need only the initials printed on them.
  10. Jewellery must not be worn with school uniform and no girl in Years 7 - 11 should use cosmetics or nail varnish at school. Girls with pierced ears may wear only plain, spherical, undecorated gold or silver studs no more than a quarter of an inch in diameter, (only one in each ear positioned in the lobe) but NO EARRINGS.  No other jewellery is allowed.
  11. Articles of school uniform may not be borrowed or lent.
  12. The school runs a second-hand uniform 'shop' the proceeds of which are paid into the School Building Fund (Archangel Trust).  Anyone interested is asked to get in touch with the School Officer. 
Both parents and pupils have recently expressed concern about the winter coat making the girls “invisible” in the dark mornings and evenings.  Of course a white scarf may be worn outside the coat or fluorescent items may be obtained to reflect the light.  One of our parents has discovered that fluorescent bags, arm sashes, hats, gloves, stars and waistcoats can all be purchased from www.xinteractiveclothing.com/hiviz.htm and she has asked me to inform you.
