Uniform & Equipment

Uniform supplier: School Colours Direct - School Colours Direct

Our new uniform reflects our ethos and school values. It also reflects the pride pupils will have in our new school, and their own self-confidence as well as making an excellent impression upon the wider community.  

The new Whitby School logo embraces the incredible history of the town with a modern approach with the new uniform designed to complement this forward-thinking approach to education in Whitby.

A tie will be available with the design being linked to the pupils’ house colour at a cost of £8.00.

Uniform DRESS GUIDE RULES 

 

Make-up & Jewellery

Discreet make-up is permitted. Excessive makeup will not be tolerated. No jewellery should be worn. This includes rings, nose studs and wrist bands etc. If ears have been pierced, plain studs (3mm diameter – only one per ear) may be worn and removed for PE (only one pair of studs may be worn at any time). Ears should only be pierced in the ear lobe. No other body piercing is allowed. False nails must not be worn.  

 

Hair

Pupils’ hair styles must be reasonable – we do not allow more extreme hair styles e.g. bright/multi-colours or Mohican cuts. Head scarves are not to be worn, except for religious reasons, and hair bands can only be worn if thin and black. Pupils considering a radical change of hairstyle should check with their Care & Achievement Coordinator in advance to ensure that it is within School guidelines.  

 

Outer Clothing

We recommend a simple and inexpensive waterproof coat that completely covers the school blazer. Although hats and scarves are not part of the school uniform, they may be worn in very cold weather but they must be removed inside school buildings. Denim jackets, hoodies and heavily branded jackets or coats with large slogans must not be worn.  

 

Footwear

Pupils must wear plain, black, polishable footwear at all times during the school day, except for when they are having PE lessons or taking part in extracurricular sport activities. Shoes should waterproof and should be polished regularly. During very cold or wet weather, pupils may wear waterproof boots to school but these must be changed for school shoes as soon as they arrive in school.  

 

PE Kit Footwear

Non marking sporting trainers with laces, which are designed to support pupils’ feet during physical activity. Pupils are not permitted to wear school shoes, plimsolls, converse, vans, and high tops. 

 

Pupils are expected to change for every PE lesson.
