Uniform Policy
At Campion School there is an agreed dress code. This was drawn up by students, staff, parents and governors. The code covers not only uniform, but also the wearing of jewellery, make-up and outdoor clothing. The purpose of the dress code is to allow students to arrive at school dressed safely and to feel secure in their appearance and therefore able to concentrate on achieving their maximum potential in all their lessons. We believe that the dress code is sensible and relatively inexpensive and, therefore, we consider that all students from Year 7 to Year 11 must arrive at school suitably dressed; we are sure that parents will support us on this. Any unreasonable excesses of appearance may lead to a student being temporarily removed from a lesson or possibly being sent home until the situation is resolved. Tutors are asked to check standards of dress regularly.

PE Uniform
All students are expected to wear the correct PE kit – pupils are expected to take responsibility by arriving for PE lessons with the correct equipment. As some pupils have more than one PE lesson in a week it is suggested that students have more than one Campion polo shirt, so that their kit is not in the wash when they have a lesson.
The compulsory uniform is
- blue & orange sports top
- matching blue & orange shorts or skort
- royal blue sports socks
- shin pads
- trainers
- football boots
- black top with the school logo
- plain black tracksuit bottom worn over the shorts or skort
- rugby top
- black PE leggings (can be worn under the skort)
Plain black means that there is no large logo printed on it.
Fleece can be any suitable material for a tracksuit.
Pupils can have their surnames printed in white on the back of the sports top, and/or rugby top and/or back top. Only their official surname will be allowed. No nicknames or first names.
Equipment
All students should have a pencil case containing the following:
- Two black/blue biros
- Two pencils
- One pencil eraser
- One, 6” ruler
- 2 pencil sharpeners
All pupils should have an appropriate backpack to store equipment – handbags are not acceptable.
Uniform Marking and Lost Property
Please make sure that each item of school uniform and equipment is marked clearly with your child’s name so that it can be returned if lost. All lost property is kept at Reception and, each term, pupils are invited to claim any unwanted items – at the end of term remaining items are disposed of.
Make-Up, Jewellery and Hair Styling
Only minimal appropriate make-up and clear nail varnish is acceptable. Students will be asked to remove anything considered unsuitable.
The school also has guidelines about the wearing of jewellery. Students are only allowed to wear earrings, one small stud per ear. Bracelets, necklaces, rings, nose studs and other piercings are not permitted. Religious exceptions should be discussed with the Headteacher. Any inappropriate jewellery worn will be confiscated and put in the school safe.
All students are expected to remove outdoor clothes such as coats and scarves when entering classrooms and the refectory. Hats, including baseball caps, should not be worn inside the school building. Hoods are never to be worn when on the school site.
Extreme haircuts and styles are not allowed. No pupil is allowed to have very short hair, tram lines cut into their hair or unnatural hair colouring(s). All pupils with long hair are strongly advised to have it contained neatly for safety reasons when necessary.
We encourage all of our students to take pride in their dress and appearance. We also encourage you to take responsibility for your own appearance and uphold the policy as detailed below.
