- All students must adhere to the uniform regulations. Uniform should be worn properly both at school and when travelling to and from school.
- Students should remove any items of outdoor clothing on entering the school buildings. This includes coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc.
- The Senior Leadership Team at Leventhorpe will be the arbiter of the appropriateness of school uniform. The school stocks a range of uniform which are deemed as acceptable which can be lent to students, if necessary, and if students are not dressed appropriately.
- The Senior Leadership Team reserve the right to ask parents to collect students from school to change their uniform, if they are in breach of the above expectations.
