As a guide, there should be some space between the leg and the material from the knee down and this part of the garment should be able to hold a crease. They should be full length and rest on the shoe. They should not be turned up.

School skirts should be of a suitable length and be appropriate for the workplace (i.e. close to the knee).Tube skirts are not allowed.

Black footwear, low heeled and sensible, with black laces and no visible logos. Boots, open toed shoes and flip flops are not appropriate for school wear due to Health & Safety concerns.
