Uniform Guidance

For detailed guidance please Click Here for the School Uniform Policy.

First impressions do count and by continually reinforcing our high standards of uniform and appearance at Tretherras we aim to prepare our students for the world of work.

Ensuring students attend school dressed smartly in school uniform is the foundation for high standards in other aspects of school life, including a positive work ethic and conduct in and around school.

The Governors and staff of Newquay Tretherras are proud of the smart appearance of our students and are very appreciative of the support that parents have given in maintaining the standard of uniform, which has become a feature of the school. The school will continually monitor the quality of students’ uniform and encourage students to develop a sense of pride in themselves.

As families, purchasing uniform and ensuring a child arrives to school dressed appropriately can be a stressful time. Our uniform guide is designed to help families with the process by outlining our expectations, which, in turn, will help families understand what is expected of their child.

Our intention is to ensure that students look and dress smart but not at the undue expense of families. We have ensured as a school that the cost of our new uniform is affordable yet of the highest quality. We have partnered with Macron Sports Southwest who provide our Blazer and stock appropriate trousers. All non-official items can be purchased from clothing stores or supermarkets. If you are in receipt of the pupil premium and would like support with providing uniform then we ask that you contact the school through NT enquiries.

We hope the uniform guide provides both students and families with clarity about our high expectations.

Students will be challenged by staff where they fail to meet our expectations with regard to school uniform and sanctions will be applied and repeated or serious breaches could result in a student being removed from normal classes and break times until the issue is resolved.

The school reserves the right to confiscate items that do not conform to the school’s expectations regarding uniform. These items will be stored safely and returned to the individual at an appropriate time by a designated member of staff.

Appearance of Our Students

Haircuts – The Academy does not permit students to have haircuts or styles that could serve as a distraction to others, or to have unnatural colours in their hair, which detracts from the smartness of their appearance. This also applies to hair extensions.

Make up – No make-up or nail varnish is allowed in the Academy and those wearing it will be expected to remove it. Tattoos are not permitted.

Acrylic nails – which are highly flammable and a health and safety risk for practical activities are not allowed and must be removed.

Piercings – If ears are pierced then one small stud/sleeper in each ear is permitted. Visible facial piercings, including nose piercing are not allowed. It is not acceptable to conceal piercings with plasters or replace with clear alternatives.

Jewellery (other than piercings) – A maximum of one ring per hand. This must be removed as directed for lessons such as DT and PE, or as requested by a member of staff if there is a safety concern. No other jewellery is acceptable.
