Uniform

We believe that uniform is an important part of our school ethos. We want our students to be smartly dressed for school in order to set a good tone for learning and create a sense of school identity. However, we also want students to be comfortable in what they wear and so we offer some elements of choice within this.

Years 7 – 11 (KS3 and KS4)

Students must wear:

Branded Items:

  • Either a branded grey V-necked jumper or a branded grey fitted blazer
  • A branded maroon clip on tie
  • Branded maroon t-shirt for PE.

Non-Branded Items:

  • A plain white shirt or blouse (long or short-sleeved), tucked in at all times.
  • Either Plain black tailored trousers, a black pleated skirt/skort or formal, tailored black shorts.
  • Plain, black and polishable footwear

PE wear

  • Ashby School Branded PE top
  • PE Plain Black sweatshirt – any logo must be small enough to be covered with a lanyard card
  • PE black shorts/ skort/ joggers/running legging.
  • Black football socks OR white sport socks.
  • Suitable footwear

Other Items:

  • Jewellery: Students may wear up to two earrings per ear (including studs or hoops no larger than a finger-width). One nose stud is also permitted.
  • Leggings: Black leggings may be worn under skirts as an alternative to tights. Please note that these must be plain black, with no visible sports logos or branding.

We also expect students to wear appropriate outer wear and to have hoods down on site unless it is raining.
