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 instil 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 (communicated from home), will be offered uniform to loan, where possible, in order to attend lessons.
Form tutors, Heads of Year and the pastoral team are responsible for monitoring uniforms; all staff are responsible for ensuring that students are correctly dressed in class and elsewhere on the school site. Students not wearing the correct uniform or deliberately wearing the uniform incorrectly (for example, not wearing a tie or rolling up skirts) will be issued consequences in line with the school’s behaviour policy. Students wearing uniform which cannot be rectified, may not be able to attend lessons and placed in Reset. In the case of jewellery and other accessories, the student will be asked to remove the item, which will be confiscated. If a student has jewellery confiscated on numerous occasions, a parent/carer may be asked to come into school to collect the item(s).

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.
