‘We look smart, act smart, to think smart’ The Budehaven Way
Budehaven Community School is ambitious for all its students and we expect this ambition to be reflected in what our students wear to school. It is clear that wearing a uniform is important in promoting a positive school ethos and by wearing the correct uniform, students avoid unnecessary conflict in school, so ensuring they can focus on their learning.
We expect all our students to wear correct uniform at all times. If a student does not wear the correct uniform, they will not be permitted to attend lessons with their peers until they do so. In this instance, parents will be informed and asked to bring the correct item of uniform into school to rectify the problem. Once the student is wearing correct uniform, they will attend lessons as normal. This has long been our policy with regards to facial piercings and will now be extended to non-compliance of all items of uniform.
Our school policy can be found below.
