School Uniform and Equipment
Every pupil at Broughton High School must wear school uniform. This creates a strong ethos, a sense of identity and pride in the school. The wearing of school uniform helps to promote school values and discipline. It also creates a positive environment in which teaching and learning can be maximised.

- Girls – Navy Juco 2 in 1 shorts (with logo), although plain navy PE shorts can be worn as detailed above.
No items of school uniform should have visible sportwear branding.
All items of clothing and footwear should be clearly marked with the name of the pupil so they may be identified and returned if lost.
Jewellery is not allowed for reasons of safety except for wrist watches and a single pair of small, plain stud earrings (no stretchers) in each ear lobe as a maximum amount of jewellery. Any other facial or body piercing is not allowed.
Ensure hair colouring is natural. Extreme hairstyles, cuts and adornments are not allowed in school. This includes lines shaved into the hair or eyebrow(s).
Nail varnish and nail extensions are not allowed in school. Make up, including fake tan or false eyelashes should not be worn. Pupils will be asked to remove these and a sanction will be given. If fake tan, false eyelashes or make up cannot be removed, the pupils will work in our Reflection Room.
