Uniform is a vital part of the School identity. We expect every pupil to be dressed correctly at all times, according to the list below. All items are obtainable from Scholars, 2 Little Brittox, Devizes. Tel 01380 722642.
| Shirt |
A white Devizes School polo shirt with the Devizes School logo. No visible T-shirts to be worn underneath. |
| Sweatshirt |
A round-necked sweatshirt with a red stripe around the neck and new school logo. The school sweatshirt is the most identifiable piece of school uniform and should always be the first item worn over the pole shirt in cool weather. Therefore to wear an outdoor coat directly over a polo shirt is not permitted. Hoodies or other sweatshits, and cardigans, are not acceptable. |
| Shoes |
Plain Black, low-heeled. No trainers, sling backs, ballet-style pumps, canvas style daps or boots of any nature. The same footware must not be worn around school and for PE. This is an essential Health and Safety requirement. |
| Socks |
Girls: Plain black or navy tights or socks, white ankle socks in the summer.
Boys: Plain black or navy socks - not the same ones to be worn around school and in PE. |
| Skirts |
A plain black knee length skirt. |
| Trousers |
Black Tailored trousers. No hipsters or low rise. Jeans, combat trousers and shorts are not permitted. No leggings. Belts must be plain balck and fit through the loops on the trousers. |
| Outdoor Coat |
A plain jacket or coat is required. Denim, camouflage, leather or imitation leather jackets are not permitted. Fleeces, Hoodies (including any with the school log on) or non school uniform sweatshirts should not be worn in place of an outdoor coat. Scarves can only be worn with a coat. |
| Hats |
Baseball caps are not to be worn. |

Students who have had their ears pierced may wear small, plain stud or sleeper in each ear. No rings or studs are permitted in any other part of the body which may have been pierced. No streatchers of any kind. Any excessive jewellery i.e. bracelets will be confiscated by a teacher and dealt with according to the 'Confiscation of Property' policy. If a student has an item of jewellery that they value it should not be bought into school as it will not be covered by insurance. |
| Make-up/ Nail Varnish |
Nail Varnish and excessive makeup are unsuitable for school and are not permited. |
| Hair |
Hair should be a natural colour and not worn in a style which has the effect of drawing attention to the student. Simple hair accessories in school colours only. |
All items of clothing and other belongings brought into school should be MARKED CLEARLY with the owner's name.
SANCTIONS: Items such as scarves, non uniform sweatshirts will be confiscated according to the school's Confiscation Policy. If a student does not adhere to the uniform policy for trousers, skirts and shoes etc, a letter will be sent home.
