School Uniform

At The Royal Sutton School, we have the highest of expectations for every member of our school community – students and staff. We base our expectations on character virtues and these are expanded upon during our character education lessons.

We expect students to strive to make the right choices at all times; to show compassion and empathy for others and recognise that whilst we are all uniquely different, we all deserve to be treated with respect. We expect integrity and courage, and we expect self-discipline and commitment.

We show this in our attitudes and service to each other and to our learning, by saying ‘thank you’ and practising gratitude, by holding doors open for each other and taking turns, and by wearing our uniform with pride.

We expect students to come to school fully prepared to learn and engage with a rigorous and challenging day, developing the right habits of mind to learn and progress and every opportunity.

Students should adhere to our uniform and dress code at all times, including when representing the school away from the School building. While travelling to and from school, including on public transport, we expect that all students will uphold the highest standards of behaviour.

We also expect our students to respect the fabric of the school building, and play their part in making sure it is able to service generations of students to come. This includes clearing away after themselves after they have eaten, and making sure that the playground and school grounds remain litter free.

Our expectations are linked to our desire for all students to develop into flourishing, active citizens, and the school’s commitment to prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead.

We will consider individual variations to uniform where reasonable. Requests for adjustments to uniform shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the Headteacher and should be raised as a concern in accordance with the ATLP Complaints Policy

Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust School Clothing Grant – 2025

From 1 March 2025, all applications for SCCT School clothing grants will be processed online using their secure portal.

The Key Changes are:

  • Applicants will be able to access an online portal via the trust’s website which is School Clothing Grant | Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust
  • Applicants will need to complete an eligibility checker before they can submit an application. If they are not eligible they will not be able to proceed.
  • The application form must be completed online using our secure portal and supporting evidence uploaded directly to the portal.
  • Guidance notes will be available on the website to help applicants complete the form. We recommend that applicants read the guidance notes before they start the process to ensure they understand the eligibility criteria and how we use their data.
  • Successful applicants will receive a confirmation email and an e-voucher with a QR code showing the amount awarded (terms and conditions apply) as soon as their application is accepted.

This is a major change to their current process which means that vouchers will be sent directly to applicants much earlier than in previous years.

Successful applicants will have more time to use the voucher if they apply early so we would encourage them  to apply as soon as possible.

The scheme will run from 1 March 2025 until 30 June 2025 and only one application per household will be accepted.

E-vouchers can be redeemed at Clive Mark Schoolwear Boldmere and/or Crested Schoolwear, Sutton Coldfield. Please note the voucher cannot be used for online purchases.

For details on the new process and how to apply, please go to the Trust’s website, which is School Clothing Grant | Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust

The link to the Application Form will be available via the SCCT website from 1 March 2025.
