DROITWICH SPA HIGH SCHOOL AND SIXTH FORM CENTRE Specialist Sports College Briar Mill, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire WR9 0AA T: 01905 774421 F: 01905 777070 Head teacher: Mrs N J Waters, B.A., M.Ed NJW/SRD 30 May 2012 Dear Parent/Carer School Uniform: Girls Skirts and Trousers The range of fashionable black skirts and trousers currently available means that it has become impossible to maintain our uniform at an acceptable standard. We are therefore specifying the models of skirts and girls trousers that will be acceptable. These are described and priced on the attached leaflet. The Governors have decided that they will be part of our school uniform from the beginning of the new school year. The school uniform list has been updated. I am attaching a copy. In the meantime please ensure that your son/daughter is conforming to our current policy with regard to skirts and trousers. This is: Trousers & Skirts Black conventional school type. Jeans, jogging bottoms, cargo trousers, leggings or other fashion trousers in whatever colour or material are not permitted. Girls have the option of a skirt instead of trousers. The skirt should be black, of reasonable length and suitable school type. [Reasonable is deemed to mean between 5cm above and below the individual s knee.] Yours sincerely Mrs N J Waters Headteacher Droitwich Spa High School and Sixth Form Centre, a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales, company number 07666185. Registered office: Briar Mill, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, WR9 0AA.
