Uniform at Hollins Technology College
Take pride in their personal appearance
Code of Conduct | School Council | Prefects | Year Groups | Absences | Uniform | Bullying
Hollins believes that all students should attend school smartly dressed in a distinctive way. We expect all our students to wear the clothes specified properly. We feel that it communicates a sense of pride in oneself and the school.
The school dress code should be followed at all times when in school or when representing the school. The uniform is straightforward and kept as inexpensive as possible. Parents are urged to encourage their children to take pride in their personal appearance. Pupils who fail to be correctly or smartly dressed may be sent home to change. Ear-rings, studs, bracelets and other forms of jewellery are a hazard in practical classes and particularly in games and in the gymnasium. Please do not allow your children to wear them in school as they are not permitted. Should you wish your child's ears, or other body parts, pierced, please ensure that this is done in plenty of time for jewellery to be removed for school. For Health & Safety reasons your child will not be allowed to remain in school with this in place.
Extreme hairstyles can be both a distraction and intimidating and therefore hairstyles should be appropriate for school. Tramlines or any other designs cut into the hair are not allowed. Decisions regarding inappropriate hair styles will be at the headteacher's discretion.
Denims and jeans are not permitted, nor are thin "jackets", as a substitute for proper outdoor coats. Pupils must wear black school shoes - trainers are not acceptable (black velcro- fastening trainer style shoes are not acceptable.
