Personal presentation Our expectations
Uniform & Personal Presentation The vast majority of the students already wear the correct uniform and present themselves smartly everyday. It is important however that uniform is worn correctly and that we present ourselves in a way that helps prepare us for an adult working life. We want to have positive interactions with students and therefore all students need to comply with the uniform and presentation expectations rather than use it as a means of creating negative conversations or potentially difficult situations of discipline.
A personal and professional presentation The following guidance has been produced to highlight ● to students what IS and what IS NOT acceptable at CVC. Some guidelines have been relaxed for our older ● students. This is because we believe that some cosmetics will eventually contribute to our professional presentation and it is important to learn how to use them appropriately.
No extreme hair This includes: No logos or insignia shaved into the hair ● No extreme hair styles ● No extreme hair colours ●
Make Up Make up can be worn in year 10 and 11 only but it must be discreet - ● “Showing wise self - restraint” In other words, use it in very small amounts. ● If it is not discreet you will be asked to remove it. ●
Nail Varnish Years 7, 8 and 9 Years 10 and 11 No Yes ● ● Shades that are ● appropriate for college and the workplace
Jewellery 1 ear stud/small earring per ear ● 1 Ring ● 1 Watch ● 1 Necklace (inside ● shirt/sweatshirt) Bracelets / Bangles ● Years 7, 8 and 9 = 1 on one wrist ● Years 10 and 11 = 1 on each wrist ●
Piercing & Tattoos No facial piercing apart from in the ears ● No visible tattoos ●
The sweatshirt ● All students need to have their sweaters with them at all times. No alternative sweatshirts ● The polo shirt collar must be ● outside the sweatshirt A plain white short sleeved T-shirt ● may be worn underneath the school polo shirt. It should not be noticeable.
Trousers Trousers should not be skinny (i.e. hug the ankle) and should flare ½ way over shoes. They should not be jeans or similar. They should be formal . Skirts Skirts should be near knee-length (the school reserves the right to make a final decision about appropriate length). ‘Skater skirts’ are not appropriate.
Shoes Shoes should be plain black leather, with no trainer logos, lifted heels or white soles. No trainers or trainer brands (no Lacoste, Lonsdale, Adidas, Nike, Converse, Reebok etc even if they are marketed as ‘school shoes’). No canvas shoes or trainers, including no Vans or Converse. They should be formal in style and you should be able to polish them. No suede please!
Outdoor Coats Outdoor jackets are an important addition to the daily school uniform. A jacket should be formal and appropriate for use at school. When not needed outdoor jackets should be stored in a bag or locker. Outdoor jackets are not part of our uniform during the school day however, occasionally, due to the weather, they might be needed when moving around the schools grounds. Jersey tops, hoodies, cardigans and sportswear in general are not appropriate.
Finally... ● Pupils will not be able to go to lessons unless in full uniform and may be sent home ● Offending items may be confiscated for parents to collect
