School Uniform

Northfield is firmly committed to a smart and distinctive school uniform. We believe that this helps to improve both standards and behaviour. Appearance is important and is one of the aspects of school life which encourages both pupils and parents to identify with the school. If at any time it is not possible for a pupil to be in full school uniform a note should be sent to the appropriate Head of Year.

The image created by pupils coming and going from school is important especially in the eyes of the public. Outdoor clothing should therefore be suitable for school.

Jewellery 
Pupils are not permitted to wear any jewellery apart from a watch. During PE, students must take watches off.

Hairstyles
No extreme hairstyles are allowed. During PE lessons, pupils must tie hair up.

Loss and Damage to Property
All school clothing and personal property should be clearly marked with the student's name. Whilst precautions are taken to safeguard pupils property, the school cannot accept liability for loss or damage.

Financial Support

We appreciate that the cost of purchasing school uniform can place a strain on some household budgets. In such instances, we may be able to provide financial assistance. The school will consider requests for financial assistance for the following group of students:

  • students in receipt of free school meals
  • students with disabilities
  • students who are or have been in care
  • students from families who are are experiencing exceptional circumstances leading to financial difficulties

For more information please contact our family support worker, Mrs Carroll, familysupportworker@northfieldssc.org.

Please note that all requests will be considered on a case by case basis and the school may ask you to provide further information as part of this process.

Recycled Uniform

We would encourage all parents to donate items of used uniform to us when the opportunity allows. We generally have a stock of recycled uniform items that are kindly donated by our parents and this allows us to make these items available to other students either at a significantly reduced cost or, in some cases, free of charge. This service is available to parents as an alternative to the financial support outlined above. Recycled uniform is also available at the Billingham and Stockton Borough Foodbank.

Uniform Suppliers

We work with two local uniform suppliers – Michael Sehgal and Tees Valley School Wear (Linked with Motif8 and Rawcliffes).
