Uniform
The schools uniform has recently changed and updated. Instead of the sweatshirt pupils used to wear, they are now obliged to wear a blazer with the school's updated logo, which is to be purchased from Safetyworks Shotton for £30, the wearing of a blazer is compulsory. The students can also wear a sweatshirt, cardigan or tank-top all of which have the new school logo on and can be purchased from safteyworks at various costs. The pupils also have to wear a school tie costing at £2.50, plain black pants or a skirt at knee length. School shoes are to be permitted to be black or brown. But during the summer term pupils are still allowed to wear their black summer polo shirts.
The school PE kit is blue or black shorts or jogging bottoms and a white polo shirt or for the boys, a navy rugby shirt and plain blue or black jogging bottoms/white shorts. But if beginning GCSE PE, a new polo shirt can be purchased.
At the end of Year 11, the school arranges 'Leavers Hoodies' to be available at Safetyworks at the pupils own cost, but is not recognised as uniform. There are also plans for 'Netballers Hoodies' in the future, these also will not be recognised as uniform.
Jewellery is limited to one small (non sovereign) ring per hand and a stud or sleeper in the ears. If a teacher can fit their finger through the loop of the earring then it is deemed a health and safety risk. Bracelets are now banned from John Summers High School.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
“When a uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners on our part has been returned by as uniform severity on the part of our enemies, you must excuse me for saying it is high time, by other lessons, to teach respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a case, retaliation becomes an act of benevolence.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
