Elevating School Pride: William Brookes School Uniform Policy Details
Our uniform code is clear about what we expect from students and it is the responsibility of all colleagues to ensure adherence to this uniform code.
All students wear school uniform; all clothing and other personal belongings must be clearly marked with the owner’s name. When a student has a relevant protected characteristic as outlined in the 2010 Equality Act consideration will be given to variation in uniform however the chosen style of uniform allows flexibility and choice.

- A watch, one plain ring and one pair of plain gold or silver stud earrings are permitted only. Items that are precious or valuable should not be worn in school
- Piercings – Only one plain stud per ear, at the bottom of each lobe is allowed. Visible piercings apart from earrings are not permitted. Clear piercing retainers are permitted. Students are encouraged not to get piercings during term time however if a piercing is healing, for hygiene reasons, students must wear medical tape over the piercing and bring a note with them to explain the need for this adaptation
- Any non-conforming items (such as jewellery or hoodies) worn around school can be confiscated by staff. These items can be collected from Reception at the end of the school day
Nails

Coats
- Coats – in cold weather coats should be worn travelling to and from school and outside at recreation times. This should be a ‘proper’ coat or a WBS branded equivalent item available from the school shops. Non-uniform sweatshirts, sports tops, ‘hoodies’, etc. are not permitted as alternatives
Health and Safety
- White lab coats will be provided during practical science lessons
- Students with long hair should tie it up during science practical lessons
