Uniform
At Fairfield we have high standards of uniform and appearance. All pupils are expected to wear full school uniform and to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.
In order to maintain such high standards, parents/carers are asked to co-operate with the school in making sure that their daughters come to school correctly dressed.The uniform is outlined in detail in the pupil Fairfax but it generally consists of a navy blue pullover, pale blue blouse in Upper School and pale green blouse in Lower School. Either a navy blue pin-stripe skirt or navy blue pin-stripe trousers (regulation design) with plain black shoes (no flashes, stripes or logos).
Please also note the following:
- Hair should only be tied back with a plain black, navy or bottle green hair
- band/bobble.
- Hair colour should look natural, no stripes or two-tone effects.
- Socks should be plain white, navy or black.
- Tights should be black, navy or flesh coloured – no patterns.
- No bracelets of any kind – only one charity band.
- No nail varnish, extensions or false nails – these are a real health and safety hazard in PE.
- Ear studs (one per earlobe) must be small, circular and not extend beyond the earlobe.
- Coloured contact lenses must not be worn.
- T-shirts must not be visible under blouses.


Physical Education – All pupils are expected to be changed and join in the practical lessons as much as they can. PE kit must be brought to every lesson. If a pupil’s practical participation is limited due to medical grounds, a note is required from a parent care to explain the circumstances. Pupils will still be expected to wear their PE kit and take on a different role during the lesson (for example – as a coach or match official).
Jewellery – If a pupil has an item of jewellery confiscated from them; this will be retained by school until Half Term or until a parent/carer can come into school to collect the jewellery.
From 8.15 a.m. pupils must not be wearing any outdoor clothing, scarves, gloves etc. in school. Pupils are not permitted to wear outdoor clothing inside school at any time during the school day.
- Correct school uniform, including observance of the general dress code, should be worn both to and from school and during all lessons.
- No outdoor clothing should be worn in school.
- Trainers are only allowed in PE lessons.
These lists are correct at the time of printing. However, fashions change and if an item is not mentioned in the Acceptable/Unacceptable list, the Headteacher will make a decision.
