Jewellery and make up in KS3& 4

Our updated non-gendered jewellery/make-up/hair policy respects students’ sense of individuality and self-expression, appreciating that this helps to promote positive mental health and self-image. It also recognises privilege of age whilst still ensuring a safe, inclusive environment where the focus is on high quality education for all and not on appearance.

• Wearing incorrect uniform, jewellery or make-up will result in a Pride behaviour point being issued to students.
• Please make sure that your child is wearing their unform and any make-up or jewellery in line with the IGS expectations for their year group.

Annual Sustainable Uniform Sale

Save money and help the environment by recycling and reusing

The IGS Eco-iLeaders hold an annual sustainable uniform sale each July, where quality second-hand uniform, shoes, revision books and many other items can be purchased at very reasonable prices.

Their primary goal is to get good quality branded uniform back into circulation to reduce the large impact the creation of new products take on the environment.

Please consider supporting the sale and helping the school to achieve more sustainability.
