The Venerable Bede Church of England Secondary School has a uniform policy, which has the full support of the Governing Body. Details of the uniform are shown below.
We believe that uniform plays an important role in the school ethos. Students need to be suitably dressed for the working day. A smart appearance helps to maintain high esteem in the community. Students must wear a blazer at all times and will need a sensible coat for inclement weather.
No logos are to be displayed on items of clothing. Tracksuit tops, hoodies and denim jackets are not allowed. Trainers, trainer socks and boots are not allowed.
