School Uniform

At the John Roan School, we believe that the school uniform plays an extremely important role in supporting our ethos of bringing out the best in everyone by ensuring that every student takes pride in their appearance and is proud to wear our uniform. The John Roan School uniform reflects our school PRIDE and equality values, whilst celebrating the historic traditions of the school. The John Roan uniform includes the green blazer which has been worn for over a hundred years and the John Roan family crest which has been part of our uniform since 1677.

The school uniform expectations are clear and explicit.

Uniform Policy 2024-25

All students must dress in full school uniform each day. The only exception to this is a student with a medical/SEND reason and this must be agreed by the Head of Year/SENDCO. Where students attend school without the correct uniform, students will be given a uniform provided by the school. (Where the school receives appropriate communication from parents a detention will not be set, where no communication is received a 1 hour detention will be set) Where students do not wear school provided uniforms, they will not be permitted to attend lessons.
