Uniform and Appearance

We follow a strict uniform policy at West Hill School. The Headteacher reserves the right to determine when any part of a boy’s uniform or general appearance is contrary to the school policy and expectations. Boys who choose not to abide by our high standards may be sent home or removed from the yard, at the discretion of the Headteacher in order to amend the issue.

Hair cut/style

We expect students to maintain a professional ‘office-like’ appearance. Unusual or extreme hairstyles are not allowed.  Hair should be smart and groomed:

• No patterns, lines or designs artificially placed in the hair or eyebrows.
• No unnatural colouring.
• Long hair which falls below the collar line must be neatly tied back.

The final decision will rest with the Headteacher whether a hairstyle is acceptable or not.

Facial hair

Boys should endeavour to keep facial hair well maintained, for a neat and professional appearance.
