School Uniform and Equipment
All Students
Students are expected to wear school uniform at all times with the exception of the charity 'non uniform' days and on some fieldwork sessions. We aim to keep the uniform simple, functional and smart. The school's uniform policy is supported by parents, students, governors and staff. We rely upon parents accepting a place at Park High School to support us actively in upholding it.
Any student breaking any aspect of this policy will face the possibility of being given a uniform slip-; two of these in any one day will result in an official detention.
Please clearly label all uniform items with the child’s name.
Blazer: Navy blue, standard style - with school badge. To be worn at all times unless otherwise directed
Pullover: Navy blue, plain knit 'V' neck long sleeves or sleeveless (not cardigan)
Shirt: Standard plain white. Must be tucked in at all times. No polo shirts
Tie: Park High School tie. Each year group has a different coloured tie, which must be smartly tied with the top shirt button fastened
Socks: Plain grey, black or white
Shoes: Suitable plain black or dark brown, with a low heel (not trainers, not canvas, or above the ankle). Please note black sports trainers, such as Nike, Puma, Lonsdale, Vans etc, are also not permitted
Skirt*: Black, plain, suitable length and style, (not mini-skirts or any other colour)
Tights: Plain navy blue, black or neutral
Trousers*: Plain black, plain, full length, standard cut
Headscarf: This should be in the school colours: plain black or navy (or white in Summer) and it should be worn so that the school tie is clearly visible. It must be tucked into the blazer where necessary and not be decorative or unduly lengthy to cause a health and safety risk
Lanyard: Students are expected to wear their school lanyard over their uniform
* There will be a phased rollout of this new policy. This means that we do not expect you to buy new black uniform immediately. Instead, when you need to buy new uniform, you should buy items that comply with the updated policy.
- Lanyards with lunch cards are provided and will be replaced at a cost of £1.00 to the child if they are lost or broken.
- Denim clothing of any kind or colour is not permitted.
- Plain black or navy hairbands may be worn, or a colour that reflects your child’s tie colour, which differs for each year group
If students attend school in inappropriate uniform, we keep a stock of suitable items in school and they will be expected to wear these until a suitable replacement has been made (such as plimsolls to replace trainers).
PE Kit
All students must wear full PE kit for all PE lessons and Dance Lesson. This applies when injured or unwell.
If a student is injured or unwell, they should change into kit and coach or umpire.
Polo shirt: White with school logo or plain white polo shirt with no branding.
Shorts: Navy blue shorts* with no branding.
Socks: White or black sports socks.
Footwear: Trainers.
For dance lessons students will be expected to dance in bare feet to ensure they are using their feet correctly and avoid slips and injur
*We encourage all students to wear shorts to allow a full range of movement. However, students may wear navy blue tracksuit bottoms (plain; no branding) if they wish.
Optional extras
Fleece: Navy blue fleece with school logo.
Tracksuit bottoms: Plain navy blue tracksuit bottoms with no branding.
Undergarments: Undergarments such as a white base layer or black leggings can be worn beneath shorts and/or polo shirts.
Shin pads: required for football. Students will not be able to take part in competitive football scenarios without shin pads.
Astroturf trainers (or football boots with short plastic/rubber studs where activities are on grass).
Mouth guard
All personal effects (such as jewellery) must be removed. Long hair must be tied back. Inhalers can be brought to the lesson if they are needed. Students may bring a bottle of water to a lesson if they wish to do so. Valuables (e.g. cash) should not be brought into the changing rooms. Aerosols are not allowed; deodorants should be roll on. Ties and personal effects should be zipped inside blazer pockets after changing.
Any exceptions to the rules outlined above must be agreed in advance of a PE lesson. Students should email their PE teacher or speak with their PE teacher, about the exception, to get that agreement.
All items of clothing should be labelled with name and tutor group.

Equipment List
Every student is expected to arrive to school ready to learn. Therefore, students must attend each school day with the minimum equipment listed below. It is also essential for students to have pencil cases (preferably a clear pencil case).
Equipment will be checked regularly each week by form tutors. However, we rely on parents and carers to ensure that your child comes to school prepared with the required equipment.
