School Uniform

School uniform is an integral element in the traditions of Thornton Grammar School and we insist that all students excluding 6^th Form wear it.  The smart appearance of students helps to foster the traditional reputation of the school and enhances the standing of the students of the school generally.  Clothing is a major item of expense for any family, but the school uniform is no more expensive or less hard wearing than other forms of clothing and in many cases is better value for money.

Jewellery or body piercing of any kind, other than a SINGLE PAIR OF SMALL STUDS IN PIERCED EARS, is not allowed, this includes necklaces, rings, brooches, nose-studs, eye brow rings, bracelets, hair ornaments, etc.  In practical lessons the wearing of jewellery can be dangerous and there is always a risk of loss, damage or theft of items.

We ask parents to do their utmost to ensure that their children are correctly attired throughout their career at Thornton Grammar School.

Please note an apron is required in white or navy for Technology lessons - (available from School)
