Uniform & Equipment | ENFIELD GRAMMAR SCHOOL

At Enfield Grammar School we are committed to the principle that all students should wear a formal school uniform in order to:

● Create a sense of equality amongst all students.
● Create a sense of pride in the school.
● Make students easily identifiable in the local community and on trips.

Principles of the Enfield Grammar School Uniform:

● The uniform should be affordable and of a comparable cost to that of other local schools.
● The uniform should be formal including blazer and tie.
● The uniform must be distinct from that of other Enfield schools.
● The uniform should be easily available for purchase in shops and online.
● We expect the highest standards of smartness and consistency.
● Full uniform must always be worn on the way to and from school and throughout the school day.
● Pupils and parents must be aware that matters of appearance are inevitably subjective at times, and that final decisions on uniform and dress code rests with the Headteacher.

All pupils must wear school uniform:
• during school hours
• when travelling to and from school
• when representing the school as directed

Sixth Form Dress Code

The Enfield Grammar Sixth Form Smart Casual Dress Code allows students to express themselves as individuals, but in an appropriate way. It is particularly important that the dress code complements the main school uniform policy and recognises that the school is a working environment for students from the age of 11 to 18.

Students may choose to wear full school uniform instead of smart/casual dress.

Students are required to wear smart casual clothing as would be acceptable in an office environment and which recognises that we are a multicultural and multi-faith school.

Students are expected to wear smart casual trousers or a skirt/dress of reasonable length with a shirt, blouse, polo or t-shirt, a jumper or cardigan if required and appropriate footwear.

Sixth Form Dress Code

The Sixth Form Dress Code plays an important role in contributing to the ethos and standards of both the sixth form and the wider school. Our sixth form students are leaders in Enfield Grammar School, a role model to the younger students. Our younger students wear a traditional formal uniform and they look very smart; the sixth form dress code will also make students appear smart but casual and ready to learn. Tant Que Je Puis.

At Enfield Grammar Sixth Form, we want students to adopt an independent and mature approach to learning and our dress code is one way of achieving this. It is only a short step to university, higher apprenticeships or the world of work and following a smart casual dress code will prepare and support students for both.

Most importantly the way a sixth form student dresses should not cause embarrassment to staff, students, members of the school community or to members of the wider community; the public perception of the school should be important to all of us.

Students are required to wear smart casual clothing as would be acceptable in an office environment and which recognises that we are a multicultural and multifaith school.
Students are expected to wear smart casual trousers or a skirt/dress of reasonable length with a shirt, blouse, polo or t-shirt, a jumper or cardigan if required and appropriate footwear.
Smart jeans and smart trainers are acceptable.

The following items are not acceptable:
• Leisure/sports clothing such as tracksuits, sweatshirts or jogging pants and leggings
• Ripped jeans or any tops with hoods up inside the school buildings
• Garments carrying large designs or logos
• Shorts or three-quarter lengths trousers
• Skimpy tops and short skirts
• Facial piercing
• No headgear, except for religious reasons

Please note that:
● Hair colour needs to be a natural colour and presented in a tidy manner.
● Tattoos must be covered and not visible at all times.
● Beards and facial hair should be neatly trimmed and smartly presented at all times.
● Lanyards must be worn (around the neck and clearly visible) at all times whilst onsite.

For some practical subjects such as PE students may need to wear a different set of clothes. This is at the discretion of the teacher and will only be allowed during that lesson and not before or after.

Sixth Form students will have the same opportunity to take part in dress-down and non-uniform days with the rest of Enfield Grammar School.

These guidelines cannot be completely exhaustive and deal with every possible alternative but we expect that the spirit and tone of this code is observed. Students who do not follow these guidelines will be asked to make amendments and in extreme cases may be sent home with a note to parents.

Students will be sent home if they do not conform to the Dress Code. Parents/Carers will be
contacted on the first occasion a student is required to be sent home in relation to a dress code violation. In the event of any subsequent digression from the dress code, the student may be issued with a further sanction and will be sent home to change, but no contact will be made with the Parent/Carer. If a student repeatedly does not conform to the dress code he may have the privilege removed and have no choice but to wear a full school uniform.

Transgender students may dress consistently in accordance with their gender presentation,
however, similar translations and expectations are expected to be followed at all times.
