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.

Prohibited Items (NOT allowed)

• Extreme hairstyles: including unnatural colours like blue, green, pink, purple, bright red, and patterns such as tramlines cut into the hair.
• Make-up: Must be discreet including subtle foundation of the appropriate skin tone. If your child wears excessive make-up, they will be asked to clean it off.
• Other Piercings
• Nail Polish: False or Acrylic Nails
• False Eyelashes
• Leggings (only in PE)
• Hoodies (Team members may buy hoodies and jumpers with the school logo, but they can't be worn as part of the school uniform)
• Smart Watches (Just a plain strapped wristwatch can be worn) 
• Jewellery: see information below.

Can my child wear jewellery 

We do NOT allow jewellery or body piercings, including rings, 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.

Students may wear the uniform which reflects their gender identity.

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 send a message via the Arbor app or 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?

Using mobile devices is prohibited on the school grounds (on site out of sight). These devices must be switched off and kept in bags, out of sight on school grounds. They must not be in trouser or blazer pockets. Audio equipment or speakers are also not allowed. If a learner brings a mobile device or headphones or audio player to school, it is at their own risk. The school will not be responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to these items. If the items are seen, they will be confiscated in line with the behaviour 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.
