Uniform List

 

As part of ensuring that the focus within school is on learning, it is important that students wear the correct uniform and do so smartly. This includes minimal jewellery and make-up as well as a conventional hairstyle. The school will decide if a particular item of clothing meets our uniform expectations and will require items to be changed if deemed necessary.

PE Kit

All years:

• The Minster School sports shirt
• The Minster School PE fleece or jacket
• Black sports shorts
• Black long socks for winter, short white socks for summer
• Maroon rugby shirt with reversible white hoop (Optional)
• Plain black tracksuit/jogging bottoms
• Training shoes with cushion sole (boot-type shoes are inappropriate)

In the case of the following items, students will be told when these are required. These can then be purchased at the time required in order to reduce the chance of students growing out of items.

• Black football socks
• Football boots
• Shin pads

All students will play contact games such as football and hockey, and shin pads must be worn. It is recommended that a gum shield is worn for rugby and hockey.

During the summer months, students are permitted to wear a peaked cap for sun protection. Sunglasses should not be worn.

All items of uniform and PE Kit should be clearly labelled with name tags or permanent marker.

 

Personal Appearance

Students at The Minster School are expected to look smart in their appearance and be ready to learn.

• False nails and false eyelashes are not permitted
• One stud in each ear is allowed, other piercings are not permitted
• Any make-up should be natural and subtle
• Hair colour should be kept to a natural range of colours  
• Shirts are expected to be tucked in
• Sports jackets, hoodies or any other tops or jumpers may not be worn over the uniform or in place of coats

If your son/daugther is unable to come to school in the correct uniform please provide them with a note explaining the circumstances. We are grateful for your efforts to resolve any issues promptly.

 

Preloved Uniform

In the interest of sustainability and affordability, we run pre-loved uniform events in summer term, where parent/carers can donate or collect uniform items. For more information please email our school office. If you have items of uniform you would like to donate, these can be dropped off at main reception throughout the year. 

Equipment List

Having the correct equipment is a critical part of learning. Students should ensure they have the items listed below, including any necessary spares, to ensure their learning is not disrupted by equipment concerns.

• Black pen
• Eraser
• Pencil sharpener
• Green pen
• Ruler
• Reading book
• Pencil
• Pencil case
• Refillable water bottle
• A calculator – (specifically a Casio FX-83GTX or FX-85 GTX calculator. These can be purchased on ParentPay. Pupil premium students will be provided with a calculator at the start of Year 7).

 

Mobile Phones

We understand that parents and carers may wish their child to carry a mobile phone with them while travelling to and from school. However once students enter the school site, mobile phones should not be seen or heard. If a student is found with their phone out during the school day, the phone will be confiscated and held securely to be collected at the end of the school day from Student Services. Refusal to hand a phone over, taking of photos or filming at school will result in more serious consequences.
