When students are working on more practical activities, and / or taking part in sports or involved with off-site trips and learning, then it is likely that a different dress code is more appropriate and we would always give students guidance accordingly.
For sport activities students need trainers, shorts or joggers and a change of t-shirt / top and deodorant
For gardening activities, old shoes and clothes that can get dirty and a change of clothes for when they get hot and sweaty
For ZSL Whipsnade activities; old clothes that can get dirty, waterproofs / coats as appropriate for the weather conditions as the day is mainly outside .
For careers visits and trips, smart casual clothes to give a good impression
Days at provision: students will be advised what they need to wear
If students arrive at school and are felt to be unsuitably dressed, parents will be contacted and asked to bring alternative clothing into school and / or alternative clothing (large baggy t shirts, jogging bottoms) will be provided for the day. If students refuse to wear these then they will be taught separate from other students for the remainder of the day or, if this leads to disruptive behaviour, be sent home.
