Uniform

Uniform Policy

All pupils are required to wear the school uniform. The principal aim of the school uniform is for pupils to present a neat and tidy appearance while ensuring they feel comfortable in what they wear. In addition, we want them to wear the uniform with pride, illustrating their membership of a highly reputable and successful school. The basic design and colours of the uniform derive from The Wellington College in England, reflecting the closeness of the relationship between the two schools. 

Wellington College in Tianjin has a uniform policy to which all pupils and parents need to adhere. Sensible adherence to this policy is the responsibility of everyone in the school community. Parents, guardians, carers, staffs and pupils themselves all have a role to play in making it work.

The school uniform is different for warm and cold weather. All uniform items and accessories are available for purchase at the school uniform shop. The school uniform shop is open during term time from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Pupils are permitted to wear informal dress of their own choice at specific times; such clothing should be suitable for a co-educational environment.

Ties are compulsory. Girls are expected to wear a suit or equivalent (e.g. formal jacket and trousers). Trainers, casual wear, jeans and/or T-shirts are not acceptable. Sixth formers can seek guidance from their housemasters or the head of Senior School if they are unsure.

Sun hats:

We encourage all our pupils to wear sunhats in the hotter months. We discourage outside play in the sun unless a pupil has a hat.  However, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure the child has a hat.

Jewellery/Make-up: 

The only acceptable forms of jewellery may include one or more of the followings:

•  A single set of earrings; these being plain studs or sleepers worn in the lower ear lobes.
•  A watch.
•  A discreet necklace or chain that must be tucked inside the school shirt or not visible.
•  All jewellery is to be removed by pupils before playing sport and for practical PE lessons.

Makeup, tattoos, body piercings, stickers, message buttons, etc. are not acceptable at school.

Hair:

Hair is to be clean, neat and tidy at all times. No excessive use of hair styling agents i.e. gel, mousse, hairspray, wax and other hair products for unconventional or unnatural hairstyles are permitted.

•  Hair may not hang over the eyes.
•  Haircuts or styles may not be distracting in any way; no lines, patterns, multi-levels, etc. are permitted.
•  Hair colour must be consistent with natural hair colour.
•  Girls: hair of shoulder length or longer is to be worn tied back as a health and safety measure. Ribbons, clips, bands and ‘scrunchies’ should be navy, black or school uniform.
•  Boys: boys’ hair length may not fall below the top of the shirt collar.
•  Boys must be clean-shaven.

Footwear:

Black, polishable shoes are to be worn by all pupils during the school day. Shoes must not have any large, ostentatious branding on them and must be kept clean and polished.

For all sporting and performing arts activities, specific footwear for each discipline must be worn, for example, football boots for football; training shoes with non-marking soles for indoor sports and athletics, etc.

Pupils are expected to have a sufficient number of each of the compulsory uniform items so that items can be regularly laundered. Every item of clothing must be clearly marked with the pupil’s name.
