TRANBY COLLEGE
KG – Year 6
Uniform Guidelines – 2017
The College is keen to work with students to ensure the highest standard of dress and grooming
is maintained. We are deliberately conservative in this area because we believe that contributes to
a safe and settled learning environment.
The Head of School has the final decision concerning suitability of hairstyles and
uniform standards. Students who consistently do not meet uniform expectations may be
suspended from attending the College until corrected.

Whenever the uniform is worn it must be worn correctly. This applies at all times
during the day, not just during school hours.
Uniforms must be clean, well-pressed and in good condition. College shoes are to be
well-polished, and sports shoes kept clean.
Students must wear a regulation Tranby hat or cap when outside.
The Tranby skirts, culottes, shorts and trousers are designed to be worn on the waist. The
skirts, culottes and shorts must be approximately knee length.
Hair standards – At all times hair must be worn in such a way that:
o the hair style is conservative – fashion trends and hair shorter than #2 are
inappropriate
o it is tidy and well cared for
o it does not fall across the face
o it does not interfere with face to face communication
o it is the natural colour
o if it is longer than collar length it must be tied up and back using plain black
scrunchies, black hair ties or plain black ribbons. Hair clips are to be brown or black.
Headbands are to be plain black. ** Coloured combs, slides or bands are not acceptable. All
hair accessories are available in the College Uniform Shop.
No jewellery is to be worn with the school uniform except for the following:
o a watch (not ornate)
o earrings - students with pierced ears may wear one matching pair of small plain gold
or silver studs (without a stone) or sleepers. One earring in the lobe of each ear
o Other jewellery, visible body piercing or mouth jewellery are not allowed to be worn
at school.
Make-up and nail polish are not permitted.
Shoes as specified on the uniform list.
A Tranby College backpack must be used to carry books and other personal property to
and from the College.
If students need a bag for their sports uniform they must use the Tranby College sports
bag.
All items of clothing/personal equipment must be clearly labelled with student’s full name.
Students and parents are notified via the Diary if uniform requirements and standards are
not met.

Non-Uniform Days Guidelines
Non-uniform days are occasionally allowed (approximately once a term) as a way of raising
money for various causes.
Some general uniform expectations apply whatever the event:
 school is a workplace and as such dress should be conservative with no bare stomachs,
backs, shoulders etc.
 dress should be in good taste - no offensive T-shirts
 dress should conform to health and safety requirements
Students who do not follow these guidelines may be sent home to change.
