PROFESSIONAL DRESS & EQUIPMENT


UTC dress code Hackney University Technical College believes that a smart business like appearance creates a feeling of belonging and encourages our youngsters to take pride in their education and training. It is important that the UTC jacket and tie (for boys) is worn correctly, and this code will be strictly enforced.


Business-like attire means: • UTC jacket • UTC tie (compulsory for boys, optional for girls)


• White business shirt or blouse • Smart, black, flat or low-heeled shoes (no trainers)


• Black / grey / sheer socks or tights for girls


• Smart dark trousers or skirt (for girls).


Optional items: • A plain black scarf • A grey, or black headscarf • A black coat / jacket with no hood, branding or logo


• A plain, black hat that must only be worn on the way to and from UTC


• Make-up should be applied conservatively.


For reasons of health and safety, jewellery is limited to: • One wristwatch • One pair of stud earrings.


If a child is wearing more make-up or jewellery than specified, they will be asked to remove it. Jewellery will be returned to them at the end of the day. The UTC cannot accept liability for the loss of jewellery.


Sports clothing • UTC polo shirt or plain white T-Shirt


• Sports fleece • Plain black tracksuit bottoms • Optional plain black shorts • Trainers • Sports socks.


All items of clothing should be clearly marked with the student’s name. Lost property will be kept in the UTC office. Parents / carers may look through the lost property box before and after UTC each day.


Students who do not turn up to UTC correctly dressed will normally be sent home to change. In exceptional circumstances the UTC will loan the missing or incorrect items. Students will be expected to trade in a personal item (e.g. their phone) in exchange for the item which is missing or not in acceptable condition. The item will be given back at the end of the day.


If a student is inappropriately dressed on more than three occasions they will be given a detention and the parents will be contacted to ask why the student is not attending correctly dressed.


Equipment


There are a number of items that a student needs in order to take a full and active part in learning at the UTC. These are outlined below, and should be carried by students at all times: • 2 black or blue writing pens • 2 highlighter pens • 2 sharpened pencils • 1 rubber • 1 12 inch ruler • 1 clear pencil case.


Mobile technology The UTC recognises the power of mobile technology in the 21st century and its responsible and acceptable use. Students will be permitted to use mobile phones in lessons as the curriculum requires, however at all other times they must be used responsibly and kept out of sight and silent. If not responsibly used the phone will be confiscated and returned at the end of the school day. Students bring in their phones at their own risk.
