Uniform

Ibstock students are expected to wear full school uniform at all times during the school day, travelling to school and travelling home from school.

At Ibstock School we aim for the highest standards and believe that high standards of dress and a smartly worn school uniform are important for several reasons:

• It encourages students to ‘dress for success’ and to feel pride in being part of the Ibstock community.
• It reduces the scope for competitive dressing which can be a source of much unhappiness for children
• It is practical and relatively inexpensive

We also know that a firm school uniform policy is what most parents/carers want, and that they want us to enforce it consistently.

Main School Uniform

• Ibstock School jumper* or blazer with school badge
• School tie
• Lanyard
• White long or short sleeved shirt with collar. Must be tucked in at all times

The Blazer, Jumper, School Tie, Checked Skirt, PE t-shirt and Hoodie must be ordered from Liss Sports. Lanyards can be purchased from Ibstock School.

Liss Sport also supply our preferred uniform brand, Trutex. Although Trutex is our preferred brand any non-logo items can also be purchased from a variety of suppliers as long as they are of similar colour / style.

Students are not allowed to wear:

• Hoodies / hooded jumpers – No hoodies under any circumstances will be allowed. Students will not be permitted to wear them under blazers or instead of coats.

Students must wear their Ibstock School lanyard as part of their uniform. Each student has been provided with a lanyard, should you need to purchase a replacement you are able to do so via ParentPay for £1.50

If you require financial support to purchase uniform please contact the school via email a.lindsey@ibstockcollege.co.uk each request will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

When wearing the Ibstock uniform, whether in school or out, students are representing the school and therefore are expected to wear it smartly and with pride. When wearing our uniform out of school students are also expected to maintain the highest standards of behaviour and politeness.

If you are unsure about an item of clothing, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s Form Tutor, who will deal with your enquiry in the first instance.

We will endeavour to contact home whenever there is a problem with uniform.

The school strongly advises that mobile phones, mobile devices and other expensive items should not be brought onto site at all. Students have no legitimate need to use a mobile phone at all during the college day. If students choose to bring these items in then the college accepts no responsibility for any items that are lost or stolen.

SPRING term: Y7s will need shin pads for hockey and Y8 and Y9 boys will need a gum shield for rugby – students will not be able to take part in games and tackling activities without them.

During inclement weather the college reserves the right to adapt the policy to ensure the health and safety of the students.
