Uniform

School Uniform and Equipment

Students will be expected to be smart and properly dressed at all times. Full uniform must be worn during all times throughout your day in school. Shirts should be tucked in with the top button done up.

Items in bold should be purchased from our uniform supplier. Any other uniform items can be purchased economically from any uniform supplier or supermarket. 

From September 2025, following consultation with parents and students, the school blazer has become optional. Students can choose to wear either a school blazer or a school black jumper, or both. The school jumper must be the branded version from our uniform supplier.

Further guidance

• School trousers must not be of a 'jean-like' style and should be formal trousers.
• School skirts should be knee-length and of a formal design and not a 'tube' skirt.
• Black or white socks should be worn with school uniform.
• Black/neutral tights can be worn with a skirt.
• School bags should be large enough to carry necessary PE kit/footwear, drinks bottle/packed lunch, school books and stationery.  These should be plain in design and not display any inappropriate wording or images.
• Jewellery/hair accessories are kept to a minimum.
• Facial and body piercings are not permitted at any time. It remains the responsibility of the student to ensure that this occurs. 
• Nail extensions are not permitted.
• Students must not wear leggings as part of their school uniform.
• Students should not wear trainers as part of their school uniform, even if they are sold in the ‘school’ section of a high street store.
• Students should not wear over-the-knee socks.
• Plain cardigans or jumpers are not permitted as part of our uniform.

Shoe guidance 

Shoes should be plain black and smart leather or leather alternative 

Additional PE guidance 

• Nails should be short to enable effective and safe participation in activities.
• No jewellery can be worn during PE lessons and other physical activity.
• Facial and body piercings are not permitted at any time. It remains the responsibility of the student to ensure that this occurs. 
• Students will also sometimes be required to bring other appropriate kit to their PE  lessons. For example, shin-guards for contact sports, studded boots for field sports, mouth guard for some PE activity. Students will be given specific advice from their PE teachers when this is required. 
• Ideally, students should have two pairs of trainers, one pair for indoor sport of non-marking or white soles and one pair for outdoor sport.

Making uniform more affordable

We work very hard to keep our uniform affordable by keeping our compulsory uniform items to a minimum and ensuring we obtain the best possible prices from our uniform supplier.

We would also encourage our parents to offer their good-quality used uniform on social media, or they can donate clean, good-quality items to school for one of our Uniform Sales.

If your child is joining the school as a new student, you are in receipt of Free School Meals and are struggling to purchase the uniform, please contact us on enquiries@corbytechnicalschool.org, and we will be able to help you.
