Farlingaye High School

School Uniform requirements

We believe that wearing the right uniform helps set a positive tone for learning and brings a sense of belonging to our school community. Our students wear their uniform with pride – it’s smart, practical, and reflects the values we stand for.  We ask parents and carers to support this by ensuring their child arrives each day in the correct uniform and fully equipped for learning.

  • All jewellery MUST be removed for PE.

If a student is not wearing the correct uniform, they will be temporarily removed from lessons until the issue is resolved. This may involve borrowing uniform items from school or contacting home to arrange for the correct clothing. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain high standards.
