Equipment

Students are expected to arrive at school with the correct equipment each day.

It is the students' responsibility to be organised with the right equipment, ready to start the school day.

You can help by making sure that your child has a weather-resistant bag, large enough to carry an A4 folder and the following equipment: 

Pencil Case	Highlighters
Black Pen	Scientific calculator
Blue Pen	Coloured pencils
Purple Pen	Sharpener
Green Pen	Water bottle
Pencil	Reading Book
Rubber	Ruler

They should also carry their Student Planner with them at all times, and we encourage them to bring reading material to school.

Can my child wear jewellery and/or make-up?*

We do not allow jewellery or body piercings, including necklaces and bracelets, with the exception of one plain stud per ear.  No other forms of body piercing are acceptable. If your child has a piercing over the summer holiday, this must be done in the first two weeks of the holiday. This is to allow enough time to heal so your child can follow our jewellery policy when they come back in September.

Rings are not allowed to be worn.  

Necklaces and bracelets should not be worn.

If your child wears excessive make-up, they will be asked to clean it off.

False nails, coloured nails and eyelashes are NOT permitted.

Students may wear the uniform which reflects their gender identity.

Do you have a haircut/hairstyle policy?*

We expect our students not to have extreme hairstyles. This includes tram lines, designs cut into the hair and unnatural colours, such as green, blue, purple and bright red.

What if my child does not comply with the school uniform policy?

We will ask your child to attend a detention, internal isolation and/or parental interviews with Head of Year or the Headteacher. Your child could also be excluded if they fail to comply.

If there is good reason why your child is not wearing the correct uniform, please write a note in the Planner to explain why. You should also tell us when the issue will be resolved.

What is your policy on devices like mobile phones and electronic devices?

Phones and electronic devices should not be seen on the school site at any point. If they are seen, they will be confiscated by staff until the end of the school day. Students are able to have phones/electronic devices in their bags to be used offsite after the school day. The school is not responsible for the security or loss of mobile phones or other electronic devices. For further information, please consult the mobile phone policy.

*Cottingham High School reserves the right to determine whether any particular garment is suitable for wearing whilst on school premises. This principle also applies to hairstyles and make-up.
