At the Regis School students are expected to wear the school uniform outlined below. We believe that this helps to remove the pressure and expense from parents/careers of passing teenage fashions and it creates a sense of identity and belonging. It also supports the notion that a uniform or dress code is representative of a professional environment, thus helping to create an appropriate learning environment. If a pupil fails to attend in full school uniform, contact will be made with home in order that the situation can be rectified and in some circumstances a student may be sent home to change.

Other uniform expectations:
Footwear
Students are expected to wear plain black leather or similar school shoes. We are aware that some shoe retailers such as Clarks have brought out footwear which looks similar to a trainer. This type of footwear is permitted as long as they are totally plain black (excluding any type of coloured logo). Students are not permitted to wear footwear such as, trainers of any colour (including black); shoes with high heels; platforms; flip flops/sandals; plimsolls/canvas shoes; boots of any kind; and any footwear that offers no protection from a health and safety point of view. Students are expected to wear plain black or plain white socks, students are not permitted to wear patterned or coloured socks.
Please note further guidance (including pictures) of acceptable and unacceptable footwear can be found on our website. If you are unclear of which footwear is suitable please contact us at the school in order to avoid unnecessary expenditure.
Jewellery
The school follows County guidance with regards to jewellery on the grounds of health and safety. Consequently students are only permitted to wear one pair of earrings, one watch and one ring. Student are not permitted to wear multiple piercings or other facial piercings such as nose studs, tongue studs, eyebrow studs etc
Hairstyles
A wide variety of hairstyles are permissible, but those which border upon (or cross) the bizarre are not, on the grounds that they represent an unacceptable image of the school. Unacceptable styles include skinhead, punk, mohican and unnatural colouring including bleached hair. Razor cuts or shaved heads forming patterns to the scalp also come into this category.
Make-up
Make up should not be worn.
Whilst the above guidance on school uniform and our expectations is not an exhaustive list, it is intended to give sufficient guidance to ensure our students are dressed appropriately for school and we thank our parents for supporting us in this.
