Parents and Carers

Uniform

Pakefield_HS (21)Our school uniform is an important feature in our schools ethos and our commitment in fostering a strong sense of equality and belonging to our community.

As a school we want to ensure we have the highest standards of uniform at Pakefield and our students wear their uniform with pride. We believe that our formal dress code creates a professional and purposeful working environment. We ask all of our parents and carers to ensure that their child’s uniform is complaint and attends school in the correct uniform daily.

Our approved supplier is Screens which is located on Rant Score, Lowestoft. Both compulsory and optional items of uniform must be purchased from Screens, with the exception of trousers, shirts and school shoes.  You can find their website here.

General Guidelines

  • The school expects shirts to be tucked in, blazer sleeves rolled down and ties to be in line with the student’s belly button. Skirts should be worn at an appropriate knee-length.
  • Whilst in school coats are to be removed. No hoodies are allowed on the school site.
  • If in our judgement, an item of uniform is damaged, unsuitable or inappropriate a new one must be purchased immediately - this includes a student’s skirt and footwear.
  • The school will communicate uniform discrepancies directly to parents and inform them of the expected actions. This isn’t a negation.
  • The school will ask a student to go home briefly to remedy a breach of the School’s expectations of uniform and may issue a sanction if the uniform isn’t correct.
  • Students may be removed from learning with their peers if their uniform isn’t compliant.

Be aware just because different retailers identify their product they are trying to sell as school uniform does not mean it will be accepted by the school.

Students who come in wearing the incorrect uniform may be sent home to change or removed from learning with their peers for the day.

Pakefield High School reserves the right to make the final decision on matters regarding uniform, jewellery and make up suitability for school.

In any matter of dispute, the decision of the Year Leads or the Senior Leadership Team will be final.

All items of clothing and personal property should be clearly marked with the owner’s name.

Students who come in wearing the incorrect uniform may be sent home to change or removed from learning with their peers for the day.
