Uniform

At Fulbrook, students are expected to wear the school uniform correctly. In doing so, it reflects pride in the school and the part each young person plays in the school community. It helps to promote a positive learning atmosphere and a readiness to learn; it supports good behaviour. It helps to protect the school’s young people from social pressures and bullying. It is an outward sign of each student’s commitment to the school and helps to instill a sense of belonging.

Students are required to wear full school uniform at all times, including to and from school. Dealing with inappropriate uniform matters detracts from time devoted to learning. Students who are not in the correct uniform and who do not have a reasonable explanation (provided in a note from home), will be offered uniform to loan, where possible, in order to attend lessons.

Contact with home may need to be made, to request that the correct items are brought into school. Refusal to change into provided items will result in a student being placed in reset, until the correct uniform is worn. Should a student breach the uniform policy three times in one week, an after-school detention will be issued. The school is unapologetic about having high expectations and will work with parents to ensure that correct uniform is worn.

For any questions or queries regarding uniform, please contact the school office by email

If there are difficulties with the cost of uniform, please contact the form tutor in confidence and the school will do its best to help.

For those in receipt of Pupil Premium funding, please contact Mrs Johnson to register uniform needs.

Valuable Items

Fulbrook strongly discourages the bringing to school of any items of value or large sums of money. Students are also discouraged from bringing mobile phones into to school. If parents choose to allow children to bring them into school, then they must be kept in their school bags and out of sight at all times during the day. The school operates a 'never seen, never heard' policy.

Fulbrook will not accept responsibility for any lost or broken mobile phones. Students are not permitted to use them on the school site.
