Uniform • If students are not in full uniform parents will be contacted so that the issue can be rectified before students attend lessons. This may involve students being sent home. • All items of uniform should be clearly marked or labelled. • We now offer trousers as part of the school uniform – they must have the Bullers Wood rose on them.

Uniform • Girls may wear a single pair of small, gold or silver coloured, ball studs – no diamantés or pearls. These should be worn in the lower lobe only. • Nail varnish and false nails are not part of the school uniform and must not be worn. • Lockers – think about getting a copy/spare one cut asap through school it will cost £6 and may take up to two weeks.
