Uniform, Appearance & Equipment
Stockport School has a long tradition and an excellent reputation. This is mirrored by the school uniform, which we expect to be worn properly both in and around school and on the way to and from school.
We believe that uniform helps to make everyone equal.
The basic current uniform consists of:
▪ Single breasted black blazer with the current school badge on the breast pocket, preferably
pre-embroidered (to be worn at all times)
▪ School crest badge and House badge worn on the left lapel of the school blazer (issued free of

Finance Office)

trousers or skirt, top button fastened
▪ School tie (current) – clip-on, worn correctly outside shirt or blouse with top button fastened
▪ Black trousers – traditional style (not stretch, jeans, cord, leggings or ski-pants) or a pleated
black skirt (reasonable length just above the knee, not lycra or straight)
▪ Flat, all black polishable leather shoes with black soles (no other colour/no coloured areas or logos) –
No training shoes whatsoever, no canvas or neoprene material shoes, no backless shoes and no
boots or shoes above the ankle (see the school website for an illustration of suitable shoes)

non-school style jumpers

Mobile Phones
Emergency contact with students should be made in the normal way through the school office. Exceptionally, students needing to contact home may make a request to a teacher or to the office to use the school land line. If a student’s mobile phone is brought in to school, it is at the student’s own risk. It should be switched off and out of sight whilst on the school premises and if used or seen, during the school day, it will be confiscated and parents/carers will be contacted in order for them to collect it from the school office during school hours. Personal music equipment is also not allowed in school, and should therefore be kept switched off and out of sight throughout the school day.
