UNIFORM, PE KIT AND SPORTS GEAR

Students should be clean and neatly dressed at all times. They are required to wear the College uniform to and from school every day. We are making a renewed effort to improve the standard of our uniform. Students not in full uniform will be sent home (unless it’s deemed an exceptional circumstance by the Deputy in charge). Please ensure that your son leaves home every morning in full uniform.

ESSENTIAL COLLEGE UNIFORM

Jacket*: Black College Crested Jacket (available from Lynch’s of Marino)

Shirt: Plain white, long-sleeved (short sleeve acceptable in summer) button-to collar, suitable to be worn with a tie. The shirt must be tucked into trousers at all times. If you purchase a shirt which is too short, it is not an acceptable uniform shirt as it is impossible for the student to keep it tucked in!

Tie: Crested College Tie (available from Lynch’s of Marino) or Coloured Crested College Award Tie.

Jumper: Navy, round-neck with school crest or Black Belvedere Crested 1/2 zip top with white shirt and College tie visible (available from Lynch’s of Marino).

Trousers: Grey, classic, traditional, plain trousers with a crease and a belt.

Shoes/Socks: Plain black/brown formal shoes of a conventional style must be worn. Runners or trainer-type shoes are not acceptable so do not buy them in the hope that they will be accepted. Regular formal socks must also be worn and not short sports socks or trainer liners.

* A crested College jacket can be worn. Plain black jackets are also acceptable.

Grey school trousers, white shirt, and the College jumper must be worn by all students. If a student is not wearing the College jumper, he must wear the College tie with the white school shirt. Hoodies must not be worn to or from the College and any hoodies worn into school will be confiscated. College crested uniform items are available from Lynch’s of Marino. It is advisable for students to have more than one pair of grey trousers and more than one white shirt.

Please Note:

Each morning, there will normally be a Deputy on duty as students enter the College. Students who are not in full uniform will be sent home to get changed. Form Tutors and Year Heads have a responsibility to sanction students who regularly flout the uniform rule. We expect parents to support this fully and ensure that their son has the correct uniform and wears it when leaving for school each day. College app excuses regarding the uniform are not acceptable. In exceptional circumstances only, contact needs to be made with the Form Tutor and Year Head. If your son is not wearing the full uniform, the parent/guardian should provide a note in the College Journal for the Deputy on duty. This is essential in order for the student to be permitted into class. Students who repeatedly flout the uniform rule may be sent home, given detention or suspended until an undertaking is given by parents/guardians and students that the correct uniform will be worn.
