We maintain a dress code that sets an example to pupils (SMART CASUAL). If staff dress smartly and appropriately, pupils are more likely to follow suit and this sends a clear message to parents.

Staff should therefore exercise professional judgement when deciding what to wear during the course of a normal school day. No denim should be worn.

For particular activities, such as teaching PE, it sets a good example to pupils if staff also change into suitable clothing. For reasons of safety, staff should always change into suitable footwear for PE.
