Can I please ask parents to ensure that they use the advised school uniform suppliers for all compulsory uniform items; school trousers, shirts, shoes and other items of uniform can be bought from any supplier provided they meet the school uniform colours and specifications.
SCHOOL UNIFORM
At Waseley Hills we believe that school uniform helps to instil a sense of belonging to the school. We expect all parents to support our view that school uniform helps to create an orderly atmosphere conducive to work and a positive image in the community.

PLEASE NOTE:
PLAIN ALTERNATIVES OF THE CORRECT COLOUR CAN BE WORN BUT BRANDED ITEMS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
CLOTHING MUST BE OF ADEQUATE QUALITY TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT BECOME THIN/TRANSPARENT WHEN STRETCHED.
All students with long hair must bring a bobble to tie it back, girls and boys, this is for health and safety reasons.
Please note:
*The group timetabled for an outside lesson, should bring uniform to change into at the end of the lesson, should their clothing become wet or muddy. When groups rotate students will be informed.
*The timetabled outside group should bring studded football shoes as they are on the grass.
*If no football boots then a change of trainers and not the trainers worn to school, are advisable at the very least, as the grass is wet, can be muddy and slippery.
Please keep the school informed about any problems relating to school uniform. In sending your child to Waseley Hills High School we expect your full support over school uniform.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
In Science and other practical subjects it may be necessary to tie back long hair during practical work.

Students may bring a mobile phone to school for emergencies. It must be switched off or on silent in lessons. Students are not allowed to use their mobile phones for social conversations at break or lunchtimes.

If mobile phones cause disruption to a lesson, they will be confiscated by a member of staff and may be collected at the end of the school day from reception.
