Uniform

The School expects all students to take pride in being a part of The Crypt School community with that pride in being a Crypt student being expressed through the wearing of our school uniform for all students in Years 7-11, and in having a smart business-like appearance in the Sixth Form.

School Uniform

All pupils must wear full school uniform: in the event of there being any temporary problem, parents/carers are asked to notify the form tutor IN WRITING.  The pupil will then be given a note by the Head of Year which will authorise the wearing of non-uniform clothing for a limited period.

The school can accept no responsibility for any items brought to school by pupils.  Parents/Carers are advised to ensure that their own insurance adequately covers such property. All items of personal clothing and property must be clearly and securely marked with the owner’s name. 

Our School Rules and Home-School Agreement which details more of this information can be found on the policies page

Monkhouse also sell the non-branded items of compulsory PE / games kit

On days students have games, they must wear their games kit into school. Students who wear the crypt half zip or crypt sport hoody from Martin Berrill do not need to wear their blazer. To ensure students still look smart and unified during the school day, students who only wear their games top or PE top to school must wear their school blazer. Likewise students can wear plain black joggers or leggings (under their skort) to school. 

In addition to the compulsory kit, students may also choose to buy sport specific kit which is provided by Martin Berrill Sports. This kit is not compulsory but is allowed to be worn for games, sport specific training and school matches.
