At Holy Trinity, we believe that uniform is extremely important. We pride ourselves on our uniform and work to apply our rules on uniform fairly for all our pupils.

Personal appearance
We are always conscious of health and safety risks to both the owner and others in the wearing of jewellery. Therefore, apart from wristwatches, no jewellery is to be worn in school.
Piercings during term time are not acceptable and students will be asked to remove them immediately.
Make-up is not allowed in Years 7, 8 & 9, but in Years 10 & 11 should be discreetly used and not be excessive. Nail varnish, Fake nails or fake eye lashes are not permitted.
Hairstyles should be practical, clean and safe. Tramlines or patterns shaves into the hair or eyebrows is not permitted. Hair dyed in extreme colours is not permitted.
In order to support our standards with regards to personal appearance, we request that if your child is to have a piercing/false nails/hair dyed, that this must occur at the beginning of the holidays to allow jewellery/nails/dye to be removed in time for their return to school.
Hair accessories must be discrete and plain black.
Hoods must not be worn indoors.
Hats/caps may not be worn.
Hoodies must not be worn.
Bandanas must not be worn or displayed.
Other than a shirt and school jumper, no other clothing should be worn underneath the school blazer.
Our leadership reserve the right to exert professional judgement if a pupils’ uniform is deemed a danger to themselves or others or it contravenes the school’s ethos.
