School Uniform

Our School Uniform Policy

All students are expected to always maintain a high standard of personal appearance. This includes wearing the correct school uniform and being ready to learn each day. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure they meet these expectations.

This policy applies:
• On school premises.
• Throughout the school day.
• While travelling to and from school.
• During any school-related activities, including work experience, day trips, and residential visits, when uniform is required.

St Cuthbert’s RC High School believes that a consistent school uniform policy is vital for:
• Promoting the ethos of a school.
• Providing a sense of belonging and identity.
• Setting an appropriate tone for education.
