College Uniform
The governors believe that college uniform is a clear indicator of many of the standards which the collegeseeks to encourage in its youngsters.
Furthermore they acknowledge the view, supported by many parents, that a uniform prevents competition over high-fashion clothing and makes differences in parental income less obtrusive. Every student in the main school (KS3 or KS4) at Treviglas is expected to wear the full school uniform which is deliberately kept as simple and reasonably priced as possible. Students attending our post-16 (Sixth Form) unit are expected to dress in appropriate clothing of their own choice.
The governors appreciate that young people need to express their individual tastes and styles but do not feel that college is an appropriate place for extremes of fashion, whether in clothing, shoes, hairstyles, jewellery, make-up or general appearance. Consequently youngsters who do not adhere to the college policy on uniform will be spoken to by staff and, unless there is a genuine problem substantiated in writing by a parent, will be required to make the necessary amendments to their dress or appearance.
The governors expect this policy to be actively upheld by students, parents and all members of staff.
A price list is available from the school office on request. (Please note that ties, school sweatshirts and rugby shirts are not available from retail shops and can only be purchased from the school Uniform Catalogue.)

Jewellery and Hairstyles
Wearing decorative jewellery is unsafe and inappropriate in a modern, active school environment. Students may wear one plain ring and one pair of small, plain ear-studs.Where, for sentimental reasons, necklaces or other jewellery is worn, it should be inconspicuous and tucked away. Sleepers or decorative earrings are banned by the County Education Committee in all schools. High fashion hair styles or colours are not acceptable for any student. Make-up should not be worn.
All items of clothing and PE kit should be clearly marked with the child's name.
The school reserves the right to make the final decision as to the appropriateness of dress, jewellery, make-up and hairstyle.
