At Thriftwood College we believe that our school uniform promotes the ethos of the college, provides our students with a sense of belonging and identity and helps our students to follow a routine, associating particular clothing as a cue for going to college.

For students in Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and Year 11), it is a requirement that uniform is worn to College.

This can be ordered online direct from our supplier, Schoolwear Plus, and sent direct to your home address.  However, generic uniform of the same colour is acceptable.

Jewellery/Personal Grooming  

We recommend that learners do not wear jewellery to school or college.  If jewellery gets lost or stolen Thriftwood cannot cover the cost for a replacement. There could be a risk of jewellery getting caught and causing injury, especially in the case of piercings and hoop earrings. 

If jewellery is to be worn, it is limited to one small plain ring and small stud earrings. These must be removed or covered for PE lessons. No other jewellery or piercings (including facial piercings or tongue studs) are permitted. Persistent breaking of these rules will result in jewellery items being confiscated until the end of the half term. 

Learners in years 7 to 9 should not wear make-up and in Years 10 onwards it should be discreet.  False nails must not be worn to school/college.  Fake eyelashes (strip or extensions) are not allowed.

No extreme hair styles or fashion colours. 

Main Uniform consists of:

• A navy blazer (optional) with a Thriftwood badge (badges are also optional and available from our school uniform supplier)
• Black or Grey trousers or knee length skirt (no tracksuit bottoms)
• White shirt or polo top

• Burgundy sweatshirt or jumper (optional, no hoodies)

For students in Key Stage 5 (Year 12 and Year 13), no uniform is required.

However, we do ask that students are dressed in an appropriate manner. Smart/casual clothes should be worn. We ask that students:

• Do not wear hoods or hats inside
• Wear sensible shoes/trainers (no high heels)
• Do not wear logos/images that may cause offence
• Do not wear low cut tops, no midriffs showing, no shorts or short dresses/skirts
