Essentials

Students must wear the correct uniform at all times and attend school in PE kit on days when they have practical PE. We have kept compulsory branded items to a minimum, and our online supplier, Price & Buckland, helps keep costs low.

‍

The school holds a limited stock of pre-loved uniform to support families experiencing hardship. Current families should contact their child’s Head of Year. Year 6 families joining the school should contact transition@charterbermondsey.org.uk.

‍

The items below outline the required uniform. Compulsory branded items (from Price & Buckland) are shown in bold. All other items can be purchased from any retailer.

PE Kit

Students should attend school in PE kit on days with practical PE:

• School polo shirt
• Navy blue shorts
• Pale blue sports socks
• Trainers
• School tracksuit top
• Tracksuit bottoms (optional) or plain, logo-free alternatives
• Plain black base layer (optional, for warmth)

Students may wear their blazer over their PE top if they do not have a tracksuit top (removed for lessons).

A plain base layer may be worn under PE kit in colder weather.

If a student does not have the correct PE kit, a replacement will be provided to avoid disruption to learning. An “Incorrect Uniform -1” will be issued. If no kit is brought, the student will be withdrawn from the lesson and receive a 60-minute detention that day.

Please note: uniform is not sold in school. The only item available to purchase on site is the school tie.

Jewellery, Accessories and Hair

• Jewellery is not permitted, except for a wristwatch and a single pair of small, plain gold, silver or pearl stud earrings
• No other facial or body piercings
• Hair must be neat, with no shaved patterns or facial hair
• Hair must be a natural colour
• Hair accessories must be discreet and navy, grey or black
• Headscarves are only permitted for religious observance

Where additional items are required for religious reasons, parents/carers must write to the school. Reasonable adjustments will be made where health and safety is not compromised.

Make-up

Students should not wear make-up or nail polish. Staff may require students to remove it. This includes:

• Acrylic nails
• False eyelashes or eyebrows

Non-compliance will result in an “Incorrect Uniform -1”. If unresolved, students may be placed in the Behaviour Support Unit and parents/carers will be informed.
