Uniform

At Clarendon, we recognise the benefits of school uniform and are proud that our students are smart – they are our best ambassadors. We believe that our uniform:

  • Promotes high standards and a sense of community.
  • Supports inclusion.
  • Is fair to students from different backgrounds.

At Clarendon we also recognise that students need to express their individuality and sense of identity, especially in their teenage years, and so our uniform is based on key non-negotiables with some limited freedoms to allow for personal expression.

COMPULSORY 

Blazer

Navy Clarendon blazer with embroidered school logo (required). Students must have blazers on at the following times:

• When they walk through the gate in the mornings.

• When they enter a classroom.

• When they exit a classroom.

• Anytime they are wearing a coat.

The blazer should always be put on before a coat.

Shirt

Plain white shirt with turn down collar - no logos/decorations. Shirts must be tucked in during the school day unless playing sport at breaks and lunches.

Tie

Navy, royal blue and white Clarendon tie. Ties must be done up.

Trousers or Skirt

Black/Grey formal trousers/shorts in wool/polyester business style - no jeans or leggings to be worn as trousers Mostly black or white socks should be worn with the trousers. As an alternative to the trousers, students may wear the Clarendon checked skirt with box-pleat. This skirt must not be rolled up.  Black tights, plain black leggings (no visible logo/pattern) or black knee-length socks can be worn with the skirt.

Footwear

Footwear (shoes or ankle boots) should be suitable for school. By this we mean that they should be plain black and fully made of a polishable leather-type material. Shoes must not have high heels for health and safety reasons around site, or partially be made of canvas.  If you are in any doubt, please refer to our Acceptable shoe guidance on the website.

OPTIONAL

Jumper

A V-necked woollen-style grey jumper (optional). This can be worn in addition to the blazer, and not as alternative. No other jumpers are permitted.

Ex Clarendon Uniform 

We do recognise that some students may still be wearing items that were part of the previous uniform expectations, and we support this for environmental and financial reasons. Final decisions about suitability of uniform rest with the school.

Uniform Support

We will always do our best to support families who need help with uniform. If you need help, please contact your child's Head of Year:

We understand that there will be occasional issues with uniform. To support students with these issues we have a stock of uniform within school to lend students on a day-to-day basis. This means that any uniform issues can be corrected quickly and allow students to return to lessons. Students who refuse to correct issues with uniform will be dealt with in line with our behaviour policy. This means that students will need to remain in the Behaviour Hub until this is rectified. You can support us with this by emailing us with an explanation of the problems you are facing before your child arrives at school. Please send the email to  axs@clarendonacademy.com .
