Uniform Requirements

Appearance and Dress Code for those in Lower and Main School
In Lower School and Main School, school uniform consists of: school navy blazer, official school tie, charcoal trousers (boys), navy skirt of knee length only (girls), plain white collared shirt, navy v-necked jumper, black flat shoes (no heels), dark socks or tights, dark overcoat and a school scarf. The top button should be fastened and ties worn correctly. 'Hoodies' are not part of our uniform. Official Trent games kit should be worn for Games. Outside of the classroom and Games, clothing suitable for the activity being undertaken, and as instructed by a member of staff, should be worn. Coloured t-shirts or coloured bras should not be worn under white shirts. Students do not wear make up (though foundation is acceptable for girls).

  • Stud earrings (one in each ear for girls) and one modest piece of jewellery, such as a finger ring are permitted. Otherwise no other adornments should be worn.
  • Hair for girls should be neat, out of the eyes and of one natural colour without adornments or extensions. Boys' hair should be neat, out of the eyes, above collar length, of one natural colour, without excessive decoration and not shorter than a number 3 cut.
  • No nail varnish should be worn.
  • With the exception of stud ear-rings (one in each ear for girls) no student should have any body piercing.

Appearance and Dress Code for those in Sixth Form
In the Sixth Form students are expected to be smartly presented in formal, dark coloured, tailored business suits. Skirts should be no shorter than 5cm above the knee and trousers should not be overly tight. Our Sixth Form students are role models for the rest of the school community. Whilst the school respects a degree of individuality and sense of fashion that adds to the Sixth Form community, the fact that they are an influence on younger students should be considered.

  • Extreme colours, patterns and fabrics are not appropriate.
  • Girls should wear a collared blouse or shirt.
  • Modest make up is permitted for girls.
  • Modest jewellery is permitted, in line with business dress.
  • Hair should be neat, of one natural colour, without excessive decoration or adornments, and of reasonable length in line with business dress. Hair should not be bleached. Boys' hair should not be below their collar.
  • Nail varnish, if worn, should be clear or pale shades only.
  • With the exception of having their ears pierced no student should have any body piercing.

"As New" Shop

Trent College’s ‘As New Shop’ has relocated to new premises within the School, still providing an excellent source of low-cost clothing and sporting equipment.

Run by the Parent Social Association (PSA), the As New Shop stocks most school items in all sizes, as well as footwear and sports equipment, all at very affordable prices. The Shop can now be found in the ‘Stationery Office’ behind the School’s Design and Technology Building. From September, the Shop will be open on the first Saturday in every month from 11.00am - 12.30pm apart from Exeat weekends, in which case it will be open the following Saturday.

The shop can opened at other times by appointment; please contact Gillian Dodd on 07977 482974. If you have any items of Trent College clothing that your children have grown out of, please consider sending it to the As New Shop; they are always in need of stock in good condition, especially Blazers, and 30% of proceeds go to the PSA funds in order to support the School. Please contact Gillian Dodd on the number above if you have any items you would like to sell.
