Uniform
We aim for the highest standards for all students.
We want all our students to attend in full college uniform so they can be recognised as belonging to Sedgefield and take pride in their appearance and in their college. The uniform is:
- Green blazer with logo
- Grey knitted v-neck jumper or tank top (either with or without school badge)
- White shirt or white blouse – long or short-sleeved
- School tie
- Traditional black school trousers; traditional school uniform fabric, not denim, denim-look or canvas; conventional school uniform style, not fashion trousers (e.g. combat, flared, skinny or trousers with studs on) or black pleated skirt with logo worn with black opaque tights (skirt of an acceptable length, just above the knee)
- Plain black traditional leather school shoes with no visible markings or brandings. No other form of footwear is acceptable
- Plain black socks, worn to fully cover the ankle
PE Kit
- Black t-shirt - either with or without the school badge. If students choose to wear a t-shirt without the school badge, please note that it must be a plain black t-shirt (no designs and no logos of any kind) and be suitable to wear for sporting activities.
- Black shorts / leggings / tracksuit bottoms - either with or without the school logo. If students choose to wear these items without a logo, please note that they must be plain black (no designs and no logos of any kind) and be suitable to wear for sporting activities.
- If outerwear is worn it must be a school training top with badge
- Black football socks
- We would like to provide the following guidance with regards to the use of protective equipment for students participating in all contact sports. Contact sports, including football, hockey and rugby, carry the risk of injury. As such it is highly advised that students wear the correct protective equipment including appropriate footwear, shin pads and oral protective equipment (mouth guards / gum shields). Use of the correct equipment can reduce the likelihood and severity of injury. Students are regularly reminded to wear the appropriate equipment during PE lessons by PE staff, but students and their parents/carers are responsible for ensuring the appropriate equipment is provided and worn.

The governors commit to ensuring that uniform suppliers are easily accessible to parents and provide a high-quality service and product. We make sure that our school uniform represents good value for money when cost and quality are taken into consideration. Our school policy is available below and this has been developed to ensure we are acting on the latest guidance from the Department for Education relating to school uniform:
Where any families require support with school uniform, SCC looks to provide this. The school operates a school uniform exchange called 'The Sedgefield Swap Shop'. We welcome donations of pre-loved items that are in good condition - students can donate these items by bringing them into school and giving them to their form tutor or dropping them off at Student Services. The school will then look to provide these items a new home, providing a financial saving to families and also caring for the environment by operating in a sustainable way. Our ‘Swap Shop’ operates during a number of school events each year (such as parents’ evenings) and families can also contact their child’s Year Manager if they wish to discuss supporting our ‘Swap Shop’.
We are also aware that for some of our students, there can be challenges wearing school uniform due to the specific sensory needs of the child that relate to an underlying special educational need or disability. As a school, we are very happy to work closely with families where this is the case in order to find an effective solution that allows each child to feel comfortable and also feel part of the school community through the uniform that they wear. If a child is experiencing sensory needs relating to any item of school uniform, please contact our SEND team via the email address below and we will be able to work together positively to achieve a positive outcome: sen@sedgefield.cc
