Wilnecote <strong>Warbler</strong><br />
<strong>November</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
We are really pleased and proud of the way students have made a very positive start to this academic year and we<br />
have nearly reached half-term during which your son or daughter will be able to spend time with their families and<br />
hopefully recharge their batteries.<br />
Uniform standards have been exceptionally high with the vast majority of students being smartly presented and<br />
wearing our uniform with pride. Students who meet our uniform expectations have regularly been praised around<br />
school and in our community. However, we are always looking to raise standards and addressing the following<br />
issues.<br />
Skirts<br />
Following recent uniform checks, it has been noted that some skirts do not meet our expectations. Please be<br />
reminded that skirts should be of an appropriate length and design for an educational environment; not above the<br />
knee and not skin tight. If students wear skirts that do not meet these expectations after half-term then they may<br />
receive a C4 detention and spend time in the consequence room if unacceptable skirts are continued to be worn.<br />
As a school, we are trying to avoid following the direction many other schools have taken when insisting students<br />
wear skirts with school logos on them to ensure that they are an appropriate design and length. We are aware of<br />
the financial implications this would have for families so we would really appreciate your support in supervising the<br />
purchase and wearing of appropriate skirts to ensure they meet our expectations and are suitable for school.<br />
Shoes<br />
Other feedback from staff includes unacceptable shoes. A few students have been seen wearing ‘trainer style’<br />
shoes which are not acceptable. Students have been reminded on numerous occasions that these are not<br />
appropriate and do not meet our uniform expectations. If your son or daughter is wearing these (please see<br />
examples below) after half-term then sanctions will be applied.<br />
Belts<br />
Fashion belts/brightly coloured belts are not permitted and are not part of our school uniform – this includes plain<br />
belts with buckles that are worn to make a statement. If students choose to wear these items then sanctions will be<br />
applied. Please see examples of unacceptable belts below.<br />
