    Re: Getting the simple things right - uniform, electronics and equipment

    Uniform

    Uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school and setting an appropriate tone. It also gives students a sense of community and belonging. It is, therefore, important that students adhere to and respect our rules on school uniform.

    Following on from the valiant efforts of the majority of our students on improving uniform standards this year, it is essential we continue this positive trend.

    The Governing Body has made the decision to introduce mandatory black tights if students choose to wear a skirt to school from Monday 6th January 2025. Next half term (4th November - 20th December) black tights remain an optional item: staff will be reminding students of the planned change for the spring term. This will be reviewed again in the first half of the summer term.

    Well done to our to Year 7/8 girls who represented St Julian's at the Utilita Girls Cup this past week.
