Uniform
The College believes that school uniform supports the inclusive ethos of the College and a strong school identity which encourages high standards and expectations in all areas of school life and associated activities.
Aims
The Victoria College uniform
identifies pupils with the College
promotes a sense of pride in the College
engenders a feeling of community and belonging
is practical and smart
The role of pupils
Full regulation uniform should be worn throughout the school day. All pupils should wear their school blazer when travelling to and from the College or when participating in any College-organised event outside school.
In extreme weather conditions, an additional plain, dark coat may be worn. These should be removed immediately on arrival at school.
The role of parents
The College seeks the support of parents in providing all of the correct uniform, ensuring it is clean and in good repair and that pupils arrive at school ready for all the activities of the day. If there are reasons, religious or other, which indicate the school uniform is inappropriate, the College will consider suitable alternatives sympathetically.
The role of College staff
Any member of staff may challenge a pupil about their appearance and will record the details of the issue as directed by agreed policy.
Persistent breaches of uniform regulations will be dealt with by the Head of Year and if breaches persist by a member of the Senior Leadership Team.
