Our uniform expectations
At Holy Trinity, we believe that uniform is extremely important. We pride ourselves on our uniform and work to apply our rules on uniform fairly for all our students. School uniform helps to promote equality, prepare students for the world of work, reduce bullying and allow students to concentrate on their learning.
Our uniform expectations are as follows:
- Black blazer with Holy Trinity Catholic School badge. This must be worn at all times unless directed otherwise by staff.
- Holy Trinity Catholic School tie visible at all times
- Black V-neck jumper (an optional extra and must not replace the school blazer)
- Plain white shirt which is to be tucked in at all times
- Black full-length trousers (no jeans, leggings, cropped or flares)
- Knee length or longer black skirt, which is A-line or pleated (no stretchy material). Students will be challenged if skirts are not deemed suitable
- Plain dark socks that are black, navy, grey, or plain black tights of a suitable denier. Over the knee socks are not permitted
- Appropriate waterproof school coat (no fashion jackets e.g. Denim, leather, Gilets or hoodies)
- Appropriate plain black footwear (further clarification below)
What does our uniform look like?

Jewellery, hair and make up
Students are permitted to wear one pair of small plain metal studs. We request that these occur at the beginning of the school holidays, as your child will be requested to remove them for PE due to health and safety reasons. Nose studs are not allowed.
Students are permitted to wear a suitable watch. No other jewellery is allowed.
Make-up is not allowed in Years 7, 8 & 9, but in Years 10 & 11 should be discreetly used and not be excessive. Nail varnish, Fake nails or fake eyelashes are not permitted.

In order to support our standards with regards to personal appearance, we request that if your child is to have a piercing/false nails/hair dyed, that this must occur at the beginning of the holidays to allow jewellery/nails/dye to be removed in time for their return to school.
