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:
“Odors from decaying food wafting through the air when the door is opened, colorful mold growing between a wet gym uniform and the damp carpet underneath, and the complete supply of bath towels scattered throughout the bedroom can become wonderful opportunities to help your teenager learn once again that the art of living in a community requires compromise, negotiation, and consensus.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
