• Kit must be brought in on the day it is needed and it should be taken home the same day and not stored at school.

• Apart from being prohibited within the school, the wearing of jewellery (including wristbands) is obviously dangerous when participating in physical activities.

• All items of value should be taken to PE lessons and practices and secured in personal lockers (you will need a padlock for this purpose). Under no circumstances should boys leave valuables in their clothing during PE lessons or practices.
• The wearing of gum-shields for all contact sports is strongly recommended. For hockey, gum-shields and shin pads are mandatory.
• If, for any reason, pupils are not able to follow the correct procedures, they must bring in a note to explain the problem, i.e. incorrect kit, off games etc.
• Pupils who are off games should still bring in kit in case an appropriate alternative activity can be undertaken, unless prior arrangement is that they do not attend the lesson. If school kit is lost/unavailable, pupils should bring in non-school kit in order to take part in the lesson, together with a note of explanation from parents.
• Pupils must use a combination padlock on their kit bag and their name should be clearly marked on the outside of bag.

• A formal/suit jacket must be worn by all students, except during summer uniform.

Students may not wear a coat or jumper instead of a formal/suit jacket. Underwear should not be visible, shoulders or midriffs should not be exposed. Hoodies, loose jumpers or jumpers with large logos should not be worn. Jeans, casual trousers or leggings should not be worn.
