It is expected that the Brixham College uniform will instil pride, and support positive behaviour and discipline. It will encourage identity with, and support for, the College ethos and ensure students from all backgrounds feel welcome. The uniform will protect students from social pressures to dress in a particular way and nurture cohesion to promote good relationships between different groups of students.
Students at Brixham College are expected to wear correct uniform at all times while on College site or while representing the College off site and at events.
We are very keen for students to wear our distinctive College uniform and where students are in breach of the College Uniform Code they will be required to resolve the issue on the day of the infringement. Parents will be contacted to facilitate this.
