School Uniform

"The intention of the uniform policy is to promote pride and responsibility in our students in preparation for adult life. It should also ensure equal opportunity without extremes of fashion."

Students at Redruth take a pride and responsibility in representing themselves, their year groups and their school. They have been responsible for creating the uniform for all.

Uniform Policy

Clip-on school tie.
Plain black v neck jumper may be worn under the school blazer (v shaped neck to allow visibility of school tie).
White shirt (long or short sleeve) with collar. Shirts must be tucked in and buttoned at the neck with the tie attached properly (coloured or 'visible' t-shirts are not to be worn underneath, underwear should not be visible).
Plain black formal full length trousers that hold a crease. Unacceptable trousers include jeans, canvas trousers, baggy styles, tight or skin tight styles and trousers worn very low on the hips.
Plain black skirt, which holds a least one crease (no lycra, pencil skirt or skater styles). Length to be no shorter than hands by side at full extension, standing tall, tip of middle finger.
Plain black, tailored shorts (knee length) may be worn from Easter, during the Summer term.

The intention of the uniform policy is to promote pride and responsibility in our students in preparation for adult life. It should also ensure equal opportunity without extremes of fashion. Correct school uniform must therefore be worn at all times on the school site and when travelling to and from. No hoodies may be worn over or under school blazers, only traditional coats to be worn over the top.
