Main School Unifrom: 

The items that are compulsory with the school badge are:

• The school blazer
• The school pullover. Students should wear the colour pullover that is relevant to their year group. The pullover should not be tucked into the skirt.
• Year 11 students can wear a burgundy or a green school pullover instead.
• The school’s tartan skirt, which should not be rolled up, or the school’s navy trousers with the La Retraite tartan piping down the side.

The following expected items that do not have to have the school badge on:

• Plain black or dark blue hijab, (where appropriate)
• Plain black or navy tights
• Plain blue, black, grey or white socks
• Plain black shoes or short, Kicker-style boots (no higher than their ankles). Heels must be less than 4cm high. Canvas plimsolls or trainer-like shoes e.g. Kicker trainer shoes, cannot be worn.
• A plain black or blue scarf
• A plain black or blue coat, or the school coat.
• An open-neck white revere blouse

Students are expected to wear their blazer at all times at school unless they have been given permission to remove it. This includes travelling to and from school. Their coat should be large enough to go over their blazer so that they can wear both together.

Jewellery permitted is limited to a watch ONLY. No earrings of any kind are allowed. No facial piercings of any kind are allowed. Students are not permitted to wear plastic earrings or nose rings to replace metal piercings, or to cover piercings with a plaster. Any jewellery will be confiscated and returned at the end of the half-term.  This includes whilst travelling to and from school.

Hairstyles should be practical and neat. Hair should be a natural colour. No bandanas, head scarfs or any other types of head coverings are allowed, except for religious reasons.

Students are not allowed to wear visible makeup to school or any school events; this includes dark brows, false eyelashes, and nail varnish.

Students are expected to have the following items, but they do not have to have the school logo on them and can be sourced at alternative providers:

• If the student wishes to wear a hooded top, then it must be the La Retraite hooded top,
  otherwise, they can wear a plain, dark blue sweatshirt without a hood.

• Optionally, students may purchase their La Retraite House T-Shirt (your child’s house colour)

The consequences of students not adhering to the uniform rules are as follows:

• If a student is found to be wearing jewellery, makeup or incorrect uniform during morning registration will be asked to remove this.  Jewellery will be confiscated and handed into the Admin team.  Items can be collected at the end of every half term by parents.
• If a student is found to be wearing jewellery, makeup or incorrect uniform during the school day, they will be placed in The Inclusion Centre (the school internal exclusion unit) until 4pm.  Jewellery will be confiscated.
• If a student persists in wearing jewellery, make-up or incorrect uniform, they maybe  internally or externally excluded for a period of time.

The school has a number of clean, spare items such as shoes and blazers that can be borrowed in emergencies.  If there is an issue with a student's uniform, for example, an item has been misplaced overnight, please contact either the Year Pastoral Support Manager as soon as possible.
