School Uniform
School uniform is compulsory and must be worn from your son's time of departure from home until his return, when attending certain school functions, and when representing a school team in either a home or away venue. When he is wearing a school uniform in public his behaviour should be of a standard of which the school may be proud. Sanctions will be applied if a boy's beahviour while in school uniform, or when he is representing the school, lets the School down.
Please note that school blazers must be worm at all times. Tee shirts worn under shirts should be plain white and without logos or designs.
Please note that jewellery (apart from watches and a single plain ring) is not part of school uniform and should not be worn. Body piercing is strictly forbidden.
Haircuts
In general, hair should be neat and tidy and not attract undue attention. The minimum permitted cut for boys in Years 8 to 12 is number three, for boys in the Sixth Form a number two. Hair should not be grown to a length below the top of the collar. Unnatural colours or exaggerated styling of any kind will not be permitted.
Lost Property
If you son has lost an item of property, he should look in his classrooms or at the games venue and check with the teacher in charge. He should also call at the General Office at break time or at lunchtime and ask if the missing item has been handed in. Please emphasise to your son that it is his responsibility to look after his own property. Lost property has a much greater chance of being found if it is clearly marked with your son's name. There is a lost property procedure in place that will be explained to your son in detail on arrival at Bangor Grammar School.
All personal property - clothing, games kit and shoes - must be clearly marked with the owner's name. It is in your son's own interest that this regulation is strictly observed and that name tabs are renewed as becomes necessary.
