Uniform Expectations and Standards 

Every pupil at Shevington High School must wear a school uniform. This creates a strong ethos, a sense of identity and pride in the school. 

School Uniform:

  • Reduces the social exclusion of students based on what they are wearing. 
  • Reduces tension as students do not have to compete with their peers for the latest fashion trends. 
  • It’s cost effective for parents in the long run.
  • Uniform encourages a sense of pride in personal appearance and being part of a community. 
  • It promotes safety, by making it easier to identify strangers.
  • Makes students ambassadors for the school in the community.
  • Supports discipline and good behaviour.

Basic equipment    

The lack of equipment in lessons hinders effective learning and independence. We want all students to achieve the highest academic excellence and  take responsibility for their learning. The first step is to be equipped and ready for the lessons ahead, to this end we expect all students to have basic equipment.
