(September 2023)

The DfE strongly encourages schools in England to have a school uniform as it can play a key role in:

• promoting the ethos of the school
• providing a sense of belonging and identity
• setting an appropriate tone for education

Beverley High School expects all its pupils to look smart and to adhere to its dress code. We rely on parents/carers to support us in ensuring that their children are appropriately dressed for school. Parents/carers should ensure that all items of their child’s clothing are clearly labelled with the correct name.

The uniform for Years 7-11 consists of the items below. We cannot accept any variations on this uniform.

The school uniform has been assessed as affordable. 

• The number of branded items is kept to a minimum. 
• The school does not require additional items for extra-curricular activities.  The school provides team sports kits for which we source sponsorship from local businesses. 
• The school does not require variations to the uniform for House colours or variations by year group or key stage.
• The school is not in the habit of regularly changing its uniform.  Any minor changes that are made always have built in phase-out timescales.

Students may also wear……

• 1 pair of stud earrings or small hoops
• 1 ring
• 1 watch

Students must not wear…..

• Boots (including ankle boots and shoes/ boots that cover the ankle) or canvas shoes

Beverley Joint Sixth Form

Please note that there is not a school uniform for students in Years 12 and 13, though we expect students to dress appropriately for a work day at school.

Second Hand Uniform

The school requests that parents donate any unwanted uniform items to school (particularly at the end of Year 11).   The school donates the uniform which has been given to the school to a Beverley charity shop so that parents can purchase second hand.  We advertise to parents the charity shop (currently Dove House Hospice) to which we donate all second-hand uniform.

Should parents be unable to source second hand uniform and are suffering financial hardship, they are invited to apply to the school for a one-off hardship grant for assistance with school uniform items and/or generic uniform items such as school shoes/coats etc.
