School uniform
Our school uniform ensures that you are smartly dressed while at school and identified as a member of St. Aidan’s. Please keep your uniform neat at all times. This means your top button fastened and shirt tucked in. Your hair too should be kept tidy and smart and no extreme styles are allowed. All items of uniform and kit should be clearly marked with your name. You must wear full, correct school uniform each day. The school governors and staff insist on this and when your parents accept a place for you at St. Aidan’s they agree that you will abide by the uniform regulations. There are occasional ‘non-uniform’ days when you can wear sensible non-uniform clothes if you make a donation to charity.
Student absence
In the interest of our students’ safety it is important that we know that pupils are in school and which students are absent. If your child is absent from school for any reason, it is important that you contact us as early as possible on the first day of absence.
You can email the Attendance Officer direct on attendanceofficer@staidans.co.uk or telephone 01423 885814 and press option 1 to explain the reason for your child’s absence. If your child is absent for more than one day you do not need to contact us every day, but do let us know if the information or situation changes.
Going forward we remind parents that only emergency medical appointments should be made during the school day, routine dental examinations and orthodontist adjustments should be scheduled for either before or after school or during school holidays. Please make your dental practitioner aware for your next appointment.
For Sixth Form absences please contact the Sixth Form Attendance Officer by email – attendanceofficer6thform@staidans.co.uk
