All uniform is available from the school uniform shop
School operates a uniform shop where you can buy the school blazer, jumper, tie and PE kit. We also stock a limited supply of skirts and trousers. We aim to be cheaper than the local stockist.
To order any of the uniform we use an on-line software package called ‘Wisepay’. Here you can follow the simple instructions and pick the size/appropriate colour of uniform you need and pay via a debit or credit card. Wisepay is also used to put money safely and directly onto your child’s cashless catering account and also allows you to pay for any school trips.
This letter contains your Wisepay log-in details.
Wisepay is accessed from the school website under ‘Quick Links’.
Any uniform order placed on Wisepay will be pre-prepared and ready for you to collect from the school shop on the any of the following days and times. You do not need an appointment.
Tuesday 03.08.2021 9.30am – 11.30am
Friday 06.08.2021 9.30am – 11.30am
Tuesday 10.08.2021 9.30am – 11.30am

Monday 06.09.2021 9.30am – 11.30am
Please check the school website for any changes to the above.
We would prefer that school uniform is purchased through Wisepay, but we will accept cash or cheque payments in the school shop. We cannot except card payments in School.
The uniform can be tried on at home and you will be able to exchange any items that do not fit. Simply bring the item/s back on any of the school shop opening days and we will be happy to help.
All necessary measures to ensure social distancing rules will be in place in school and hand sanitisers are available. We also request you wear a face covering.
Thank you for you co-operation and if you have any queries, please email me at l.muller@smithillsschool.net
HIJABS AND TOPIS
For religious reasons some students may wish to wear either a headscarf (hijab) or topi. This must be plain black.
JEWELLERY
The only acceptable items of jewellery are a wristwatch and a small single pair of studs worn in the ears, rings or other piercings are NOT acceptable for health and safety reasons and students will be required to remove them.
MAKE-UP
Make-up is not permitted in school. Any student wearing make-up will be asked to remove it.
Nail polish and acrylic/ false nails should not be worn.
Hairstyles should be smart and sensible. Shaved heads (apart from those boys returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca) or other extreme styles are NOT accepted in school.
A sturdy bag is needed every day to carry equipment and is an essential part of our uniform.
We ask parents NOT to send students to school in expensive designer-type coats or shoes. We cannot be held responsible for any loss and would advise parents to check the conditions of their own household insurance.
We take pride in the image of our school within the community and therefore it is vitally important that all students wear their uniform correctly to and from school. School Governors ask parents to support our efforts to promote a positive and disciplined image in the community.
