Uniform

Our uniform is designed to be comfortable for students to wear, good value and smart. All students in Years 7-11 are required to wear correct, neat and tidy uniform in school and on the journey to and from school.

To aid the return of misplaced items, please ensure that all items are labelled with the student’s name.

Trutex stocks and supplies our uniform. Their contact details are: Unit 3, Sugarmill Retail Park, Billacombe Road, PL9 7HT. 01752 491353. Or visit their website:  www.plymouth.trutex.com

Uniform Swap Shop

Uniform Swap Shop and Second-hand Uniform Sales

We are pleased to announce the launch of a Uniform Swap Shop at Plymouth High School for Girls.
Staff and students are passionate about sustainability and recycling, so to offer pre-loved uniform is an opportunity we would like to expand on. This will provide parents and carers to swap clean, good condition items of uniform, for a different size, or to buy an item of preloved, looked after uniform at a fraction of the cost of brand new.

Proceeds of the sales will be put back into our school. Any second-hand uniform we cannot use will go to charity to be recycled, nothing goes to landfill.

The Swap Shop will be student led, but overseen by the PTFA. They can also take enquiries about availability and sizes etc by email at phs-pta@tsatmail.org.uk

We will not accept donations of any second-hand white shirts. We will, however, accept donations of the uniform as follows:

  • Blazer - Eco David Luke
  • Skirt - Trutex
  • Jumper - Trutex badged
  • PE shorts – SWI with white piping
  • PE skort – SWI with white piping
  • PE long-sleeved top (optional) - Aptus
  • PE short-sleeved top - Aptus
  • Plain navy leggings/tracksuit bottoms
So, if your child is growing at the rate of knots, or needs an item of uniform they don’t have, you may wish to enquire about the pre-loved uniform we have at school, to swap one for one or buy.
(Prices on request).

Jewellery.

Students in Year 7 to 11 may wear a single stud earring in the lobe of one or both ears.  No other piercings are permitted.

A watch may be worn, but no other form of jewellery can be worn, including rings, bracelets and necklaces.

If a student wears any non-permitted piercing to school, they will be asked to remove it. 

Make-up, Nails and Lashes.

Make-up may be worn to cover blemishes, but must be of a subtle nature. Nail varnish must not be worn. Nails must be worn at a length no longer than the tip of the finger on health and safety grounds. No acrylic nails or gels. No false eyelashes of any kind are permitted.

Hair.

Hair must be a natural colour and cut in an acceptable style. Hair accessories, if worn, should be plain navy, black, brown, beige, blonde or white.

Aerosols

No aerosols of any kind, i.e. deodorants, hairspray etc. are permitted in school as they may trigger asthma attacks in other students.

If any uniform rules are broken by a student, then they will result in a consequence in line with the behaviour policy.
Please see below a presentation of examples of the uniform and PE kit being worn correctly, for reference.
