Uniform
All Hope View pupils are expected to maintain a high standard of appearance by coming to school smartly dressed in their full school uniform and wearing it in the required style. All items of uniform must be marked with the owner’s name preferably using proper name tapes rather than just written in on a label. Clothes should not portray any inappropriate logos or wording. If you have any doubts about what may be inappropriate, please contact the school.
Pupils are not allowed to wear jewellery of any sort to school, this includes earrings. Ears should be pierced only at the beginning of a main holiday to allow time for healing so the earrings can be removed on return to school. Hair styles and colour should be acceptable for a formal school situation. No visible tattoos are permitted at any time, including during PE lessons. When pupils are travelling to and from school, they are expected to conform to the uniform code.
