School Uniform Expectations

At The Chase, we believe that wearing a smart and consistent uniform reflects pride in belonging to our community. A high standard of appearance among students enhances both their image and that of the school, encourages a business-like and purposeful atmosphere, and helps to prevent competition over fashions and labels. Students are expected to follow the school’s guidelines on uniform and personal presentation throughout the school year.

All students in Years 7–11 must wear full school uniform in school, when travelling to and from school, at school events and on visits where uniform is required.

Uniform Guidelines

• All students must wear the school blazer. The school jumper is optional but must not be worn instead of a blazer.

• School shirts and blouses should be tucked in at all times and worn neatly.

• Shoes must be completely black and made from leather or a leather-like material, with no logos or coloured stitching. Trainers and boots are not permitted.

• School skirts must be worn properly and should not be altered or rolled up.

• We strongly recommend the use of safety or fluorescent clothing during the winter months for students who cycle to school, as well as the wearing of a suitable cycle helmet.

• All clothing, sports kit and personal items should be clearly named to assist in returning lost property.

Personal Appearance

Hair: Hairstyles should be appropriate for a school environment. Hair should be clean and tidy, with any colouring kept to natural tones. Protective hairstyles, including braids, twists and styles reflecting cultural heritage, are welcome. Styles intended purely to cause disruption or distract from learning will be addressed on an individual basis.

Jewellery: Multiple ear piercings are permitted, but only small studs or hoops (maximum 1cm). A single necklace, bracelet and ring may be worn but must be removed for PE.

Nose Piercings: A single nose stud is allowed (clear preferred). Nose rings are not permitted.

Eyelashes: False eyelashes are discouraged but if worn should be discreet and not easily noticeable.

Nails: Should be neutral in colour and reasonable in length. False nails are permitted under these conditions but must be no longer than the fingertip.
