At St Joseph’s Catholic High School we believe that a school uniform gives a sense of belonging and pride in the school whilst ensuring equality amongst students. In addition, a smart appearance contributes positively to the students’ attitude to work and study; it also influences how the school is portrayed to the general public and visitors to the school. It is our expectation that correct full uniform is worn to and from school. In order to ensure your son/daughter meets our uniform expectations, please take the time to look at the list below - whilst this is not an exhaustive list it does provide clear guidance on what is and what is not acceptable. 

Boys and Girls Uniform

Jumpers: Plain black, woollen, V-neck (no sweatshirts). 

Shirt: White only, buttoned to the collar. 

School Tie: Compulsory (these can be purchased from school). The tie should be worn at waist length a minimum of 8 stripes. 

Boys’ Trousers: Plain suit black with pleat/seam along the front – no jeans, cords, skinny fit leggings, joggers or linen trousers. Plain black socks. 

Girls’ Skirts: School skirt, not to be tailored (2cm above/below knee). Plain black or natural colour tights. Plain black socks. 

Shoes: Black, polishable and low heeled. No boots, canvas shoes or trainers of any colour are allowed. Students wearing inappropriate shoes must change into school-provided plimsolls. 

Outdoor Coats/Jackets: No hooded tops, sweatshirts or tracksuit jackets. A dark plain coat for school (black, dark grey or dark navy).

Hair and Eyebrows: Hair must be a natural colour and must not be dyed bright or unnatural colours, including but not limited to red, blue, green, pink or purple. The school reserves the right to determine whether a hair colour is considered natural. No extreme haircuts are permitted. The school will decide what is considered extreme. No shaved eyebrows.
