The school uniform at 黑料正能量 is primarily focused on providing pupils with the following:
- An easily distinguished attire which further enhances the safeguarding of children (both in school and whilst travelling to and from).
- Promoting the ethos of the school and providing a sense of belonging.
- Preparing pupils for the work setting.
- A comfortable and durable clothing which is best suited to the learning environment of the College.
Pupils are expected to wear full uniform when in school, unless there are specific exceptions where there are genuine and accepted reasons for any variations (For example 鈥� temporary change to accommodate an injury, as appropriate). Uniform is expected to be worn during transport to and from school, particularly where this involves school or public bus services, travelling on foot or by bike/scooter.
Students not conforming to the expectations of the uniform will be sanctioned accordingly. This will be in line with the school鈥檚 Positive Behaviour policy and may be escalated for repeated uniform concerns.

PE Department Kit Policy
Students must聽bring their PE kit to every PE lesson.聽 In the event that a student is unwell or injured, they should arrive with full PE kit and a note from their parent or carer. Staff will then support students in maintaining an active role within the lessons which considers the injury or illness which the student is suffering from. The CVC kit that students are required to wear is as follows:
PE kit compulsory items for both boys and girls
Navy PE shorts (no logo and not fitted)
Sky blue CVC polo shirt*
Sky blue football/hockey socks
Additional footwear that are not their current school shoes 鈥� they should be suitable for the sport.
PE kit OPTIONAL for boys
Blue and gold rugby top OR the new black and pale blue rugby top (please note, both are acceptable)
Optional items for boys and girls
These are not compulsory items. Alternatives are not allowed.
Navy blue CVC hoody
Navy blue tracksuit bottoms (NOT sweatpants style and no (or very small) branding)
Navy blue baselayers
See “Examples of PE Kit” at the bottom of the Uniform Policy (which can be found on the left of this page) for pictorial guidelines’
Optional item for girls
Navy blue skort (Skirt must be longer than the shorts and only small or no branding)
Due to the nature of the activities in this subject, all students聽should have a separate pair of trainers聽which are in addition to their school shoes, pumps such as 鈥榁ans鈥� or 鈥楥onverse鈥� are not adequate for PE and students should not be wearing their school shoes for PE.
There may be some activities where students require specialist equipment.聽 Students should wear studded boots when participating in games on the school field, such as football and rugby.聽 We strongly recommend that students wear mouth guards when participating in rugby and hockey and that shin pads are essential when performing in football and hockey.
Students are permitted to wear a small pair of studs in their ears while at school.聽聽However, please be aware that all jewellery must be removed for PE lessons.聽 This includes all piercings, plastic or metal and friendship bands.聽These items represent a potential hazard, not only to the wearer but also to other children. The Association for Physical Education Safe Practice confirms that any聽jewellery聽worn in Physical Education lessons is an unnecessary risk and should be avoided at all times. Serious accidents have occurred as a result of contact between pupils wearing earrings or studs with other pupils or equipment.聽聽Taping over earrings is no longer a sufficient practice as it does not effectively prevent injury, particularly impact injuries.聽聽With this in mind, we expect that students considering any piercings in the near future undertake them at the beginning of the summer break and not during the school year. It is not acceptable to wear piercings to school that cannot be removed.
