The Headteacher reserves the right to decide the suitability of clothing for school wear, especially as fashions are constantly changing.

Your child will be notified of their house on Induction Day.

  2. Trousers – Smart navy blue trousers. (If a belt is needed, it should be black or navy blue and have a plain buckle). Joggers / leggings are not permitted as part of our day to day school uniform but do form part of our PE kit.
     
  3. Jumper or slipover (sleeveless jumper) This is an optional item, but if worn, the jumper/ slipover must be the RHS Navy Blue V-necked jumper, with school logo, OR a plain V neck navy blue jumper.

    RHS Cardigan - this is an optional item for students in Years 10 and 11 only and if worn, the cardigan must be the RHS Navy blue cardigan with school logo.

  5. Blazer - Navy blue RHS blazer.

    The school blazer is a compulsory item of uniform and must be worn during lessons, assemblies, formal school occasions, and when moving around the school site unless permission has been given by a member of staff to remove it.

    Students must ensure that their blazer is readily available at all times during the school day and must be put on immediately when instructed to do so by a member of staff.

    Failure to wear the blazer when required, or wearing non-uniform items in its place, will be treated as a breach of the school uniform policy and may result in a sanction.
     
  6. Tights and socks - Knee or ankle socks - plain navy, plain black or plain white socks or plain black, plain navy or flesh coloured tights.
     
  7. Shoes - Low-heeled leather type shoes in black or navy. (Not more than five centimetres for the heel). Very narrow heels such as stilettos are not allowed. Boots should not be worn in school but an exception will be made when snow is on the ground. Students may choose to wear plain black leather type trainers.
     
  8. Jewellery - students may wear discreet jewellery (one necklace and one bracelet). Students will be asked to remove large or fashion jewellery items such as large hoop earrings, or any item with any slogan. Should students choose to wear discreet jewellery the school does not take any responsibility for loss of or damage to these items. 

    Items of jewellery, such as the Kara bangle, and certain items of headwear, such as the turban and headscarves may be worn by students when doing so is genuinely based on manifesting religious or racial beliefs or identity. Where there is uncertainty as to whether an item may be worn under this section, the issue must be referred to the Headteacher.

    I    tems of jewellery must be removed for PE for health and safety reasons. 

    If, for religious reasons, jewellery is worn and cannot be removed, students must cover these with a sports sweat band for safety.

    Make-up - No make-up is allowed in Years 7 - 9. In Years 10 - 11 only discreet makeup is allowed. Nails must be kept short to avoid accidental injury, if worn, nail varnish must be neatly applied to maintain smart appearance.
  1. Hair - long hair should be tied back for practical lessons, including PE, and discreet hair accessories should be used for this. Extreme hairstyles are not permitted.

 

For Physical Education

Compulsory Footwear:

  • Sports trainers
  • Football boots with rounded studs, NOT blades

Compulsory clothing:

  • Navy knee-length football/hockey socks
  • Navy skort or shorts
  • House polo shirt
  • House hoodie
  • PLAIN black or navy sports leggings/skins.

The shorts, jogging bottoms (see below), skorts, polos and hoodies must all have the RHS logo embroidered/ printed on them. These can be purchased from Webb Ellis (details below).

Compulsory extras:

  • Shin pads with ankle protectors

Optional: 

  • Navy jogging bottoms
  • Long sleeve, navy/ black skins to be worn under polos

It would be preferable if polo tops and hoodies had the student’s name (forename and surname, full not nickname) embroidered/ printed on the right-hand side opposite the logo. We have found this significantly reduces the number of items either lost or mixed up with other students’ clothing.

Uniform Policy

The same uniform policy applies equally to all students, irrespective of their gender, gender reassignment, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief or special educational needs, subject to considerations of safety and welfare. However, the school will consider reasonable requests to alter the uniform, for example for genuine religious requirements and in making reasonable adjustments for disabled children to avoid substantial disadvantage.

Looking smart and wearing the correct uniform is one way in which our students show kindness, care and respect and feel a sense of pride in belonging to the RHS community. Financial support for students in receipt of Free School Meals/ Pupil Premium is available to help with the cost of school uniform, please contact the school for more information.
