Uniform Expectations

We have the highest standards of presentation and we feel strongly that the school uniform must be worn with pride by all our students. We will not accept students being out of school uniform unless there is an explicit and valid explanation which has been discussed with your child’s Head of Year or a Senior Leader. Students are no longer required to wear PE kit to school but should bring their PE kit with them. Students will change into their PE kit when they have PE lessons. We are look forward to all of our students arriving in full uniform every morning for an 8:40am start.  

As always, we would like to support our Rooks Heath families to recycle uniform where possible and, in particular, to exchange blazers for larger sizes where required.  We have a number of pre-owned blazers and other items of uniform in good condition. If your child’s blazer has become too small and is still in a good condition, we would be very pleased to arrange an exchange. We are also happy to accept other uniform donations.  Please ensure items are cleaned before donating.  If you have uniform to donate, please deliver it to the school reception.   
  
We understand that there may be some families experiencing financial hardship. We would also be happy to support by providing a blazer (blue or black) or other items of school clothing where we have stock.  We cannot accept any money for any items we give you however if you would like to give something in return, we would encourage you to support any fundraising initiatives we promote.  If you are interested in sourcing second-hand uniform from the school, please email the school or ask at Reception and someone will contact you to make the necessary arrangements.   

Please carefully note the uniform requirements, which are summarised below. All items must be clearly labelled.

The uniform is obtainable from the official supplier:
