School Uniform
Werneth School is a place of learning, and we are fiercely proud of our distinctive uniform. We expect our students to wear it smartly at all times in preparation for the professional expectations of the workplace.
School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone. Most schools in England have a school uniform or dress code, and other rules on appearance and the Department for Education strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can instil pride; support positive behaviour and discipline; encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos; ensure students of all races and backgrounds feel welcome; protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way; and nurture cohesion and promote good relations between different groups of students.
We would like to therefore remind students and families of the uniform:

Please note: Plain clothing should not contain visible badges, writing or insignia; Trousers and skirts should not be constructed from denim, linen or canvas. Official items can be purchased from Bonny Bouncer or Monkhouses.
Students’ hair forms part or our uniform expectations. We expect that long hair should be tied back when working in a science laboratory, PE lessons or technology classroom for health and safety purposes. Students' hair should be natural colour. Unnatural colours are not permissible at Werneth School.
Hair accessories (alice bands, hair slides etc.) should be small black or red;
Head scarves can be worn but should be plain black (no logos, embroidery, fringing or beading) and should be secured with a safety pin.
Jewellery is restricted to:
- One pair of small plain silver or gold studs (no hooped, coloured or diamante earrings), no more than one stud in each lower lobe;
- Watches are permitted but will be asked to be removed for examinations; in line with exam board regulations.
- NO FACIAL PIERCINGS
No false nails, eyelashes or nail varnish allowed.
Make-up for all year groups should be discreet.
If any families need support with uniform please contact the school and we will be happy to assist.
The Department for Education makes it quite clear that students can be asked to return home briefly in order to comply with the uniform expectations. This is not exclusion, but an authorised absence. However, if the student continues to breach uniform rules in such a way as to be sent home to avoid school, or takes longer than is strictly necessary to effect the change, the student’s absence may be counted as unauthorised absence and you may receive a penalty notice warning and fine in relation to that absence. Where non-compliance is persistent the Department of Education does consider exclusion to be an effective response. This is of course something that we wish to avoid and a number of items will be available for students in case of an emergency. Our expectation is that students will change into these items promptly and therefore not jeopardise any loss of learning or additional consequences for failing to comply.
A small number of items that form our uniform are branded items which are available to purchase from the providers listed. We do have a limited number of good quality items donated by previous families available for students who might benefit from these. We can also signpost you to organisations that can help and support. Please contact your child’s Year Achievement Leader or Year Inclusion Manager by telephoning the school on 0161 494 1222.
