Uniform and Equipment
The school has a Uniform Policy and all students are expected to wear the correct uniform at school, and when travelling to and from school. If a student arrives without the correct uniform the school reserves the right to contact parents/carers either to send the student home to collect the correct uniform, or to obtain a dated note explaining the reason and stating when he will be in uniform.
The school cannot accept responsibility for clothing or property that is lost or missing. Parents/carers are advised to mark clearly all items of clothing with their son's name.
Our school uniform should be purchased from our suppliers, PMG;
393-395 Hook Rd, Chessington. KT9 1EL
The school is aware of the cost impact of school uniform, and has taken steps to minimise the quantity of branded items that a boy needs. As well as this from time to time throughout the school year, the Southborough Parent Teacher Association (PTA) hosts a sale of pre-loved, clean and usable, items of uniform. Please see the frequently updated School Calendar for times and dates when these events happen.

Mobile Phones
All pupils in Years 7 to 11 will be provided with their own personal Southborough mobile phone pouch. This is a secure case that locks a mobile phone inside, preventing access to the phone — including any calls, messages, or notifications — until it is unlocked at the end of the school day.
Personal Responsibility:
Each student is responsible for looking after their mobile phone pouch both in and out of school. Pouches and phones will remain with pupils throughout the school day and should also be taken home each day.
Locking Procedure:
All mobile phones must be securely locked in the pupil’s personal pouch before entering the school premises. This will be checked by form tutors during Period Zero.
Usage Restrictions:
Phones must remain locked in their pouches from 8:40 AM to 3:15 PM. At the end of the school day, pupils can unlock their pouches using the unlocking stations located at various exits around the school.
Consequences for Misuse:
If a mobile phone is seen out of the pouch at any point during the school day, it will be confiscated immediately, and the pupil will receive an Internal Exclusion.
Replacement Policy:
If a pouch is lost or damaged, the pupil and parents/carers are responsible for purchasing a replacement pouch through the school. A £10 fee will be charged for each lost or damaged pouch.
