school uniform
We are proud of our school and proud of our students and we like to feel that they carry their identity with them into the community. The school's current uniform is listed below.
We expect parents to support the school throughout the five statutory years by ensuring that uniform is worn as a matter of course. Our green school sweatshirt is a compulsory item of uniform and each student must have one with them in school - this ruling may be relaxed in the Summer Term depending on the weather.
Plain white polo shirt (no logos)
School sweatshirt (round-necked, bottle green with school logo) available from RAM Leisure, Trinity House, Whitegate Industrial Estate, Wrexham.
Telephone Number: 01978 360360.
Black tailored trousers (no denim or combats.) Optional black knee-length skirt (girls)
Matching plain socks.
Plain black or dark sensible shoes.
No trainers with logos or sports stripes. Flip flops or shoes without backs are unacceptable for safety reasons.
High heels (ie. heels higher than 2 inches) are not suitable for school for health and safety reasons.
Please Note:
In consultation with the Governors, staff and students, the school has designed a new badge for the sweatshirt for the academic year 2008/09. Sweatshirts bearing the old badge will no longer be on sale but will remain an acceptable part of our school uniform.
Like any reasonable organisation we allow no extremes of appearance at Ysgol Rhiwabon.
Jewellery is limited to a watch, one plain ring and one pair of plain gold or silver studs in pierced ears. No other facial piercings are allowed.
Similarly we do not permit extreme hairstyles (no unnatural colours, shaved heads, shaved patterns in the hair eg tramlines or long Mohicans) or excessive make-up. Eye shadow and eye liner are not acceptable.
These measures go a long way to preventing unnecessary accidents or loss of expensive items for the young people in our care.
