Aylsham High School Uniform
The school policy on uniform is designed to enable students to dress appropriately for work at school, without undue cost being involved. Taking pride in their appearance and demonstrating respect for the values of the school is very important to our students. Uniform must be worn by all students whilst in attendance at the school, on the way to and from school and on all school visits unless the executive headteacher has given prior permission to the contrary.
The uniform is available from Kayes Schoolwear Clothing and Gifts, 19 Red Lion Street, Aylsham. 01263 734423, www.kayesofaylsham.co.uk – please see price list and shopping guidelines during Covid-19 on the following pages.
It is advisable to order uniform in plenty of time before your child starts school or requires replacement items. Badges purchased for blazers bought from other retailers can be obtained from our finance office. The executive headteacher reserves the right to isolate any student who is wearing any garment which the executive headteacher and senior staff consider unsuitable for school.

General PE information
Showers are available and we ask you to provide your child with a towel on all days when he/she has games or PE, if you wish them to shower.
For health and safety purposes we ask that any approved piercings are done at the start of the summer holidays to provide 6 weeks to heal as piercings must be removed for PE lessons.
Students will have to remove all earrings and body piercings before each PE activity, no matter how recently pierced. Body piercings are against school rules and therefore are not a valid reason for non-participation in PE lessons.
All students must wear gum shields for hockey and rugby (available to purchase from the school).
Black-soled training shoes must not be worn in the gymnasium or sports hall as they damage the floor.
If students cannot participate fully in their PE lesson, they will be expected to get changed and work in a coaching and leadership capacity.
Lost property for sports items is located at reception. Ideally, we would like all students to
purchase the school sports kit as we believe that it provides greater durability and the Aylsham High branding gives it a very professional look. This sports kit is available from Kayes, Red Lion Street, Aylsham.
The table on the previous page outlines the minimum expectations, which a student would require along with a number of optional extra pieces of Aylsham High School branded kit.
