There is often some misunderstanding about the College uniform with regard to trousers and shirts:
- Trousers for College must be plain black, full length tailored trousers, if the trousers have rivets then they will be classed as jeans. Jeans and leggings are not part of the College uniform.
- Shirts must be white with buttons to the collar.
- Cardigans are also not part of the College uniform. If cardigans are worn in College they will be confiscated and returned at 3pm.

In relation to letters previously sent out to parents/carers can we please remind both students and parents/carers that there will be a zero tolerance approach to uniform. In particular training shoes, black pumps and black trainers WILL NOT be accepted as College uniform from September 2011 and correct black shoes suitable for College must be worn.
