Dress Code
Dress Code
At UTC Reading we have high expectations of our community, and this includes what the staff and students wear every day.
All students and staff are expected to wear smart formal, business dress. Our students say this is a change from their previous school and makes a big difference to their mindset being in a professional environment.
Male students wear a shirt and tie with formal trousers and a jacket. Female students wear formal trousers or a skirt/dress of reasonable length with a smart top and jacket.
For Year 10 and 11 PE lessons, students are required to wear a UTC Reading polo shirt. Please note that the other items on our online shop are at parent discretion such as the V-neck jumper. You can order the polo shirt here.
You can get all the details of expectations in the following Student Professional Dress Code.
GCSE study skills masterclass for parents
To help in the run-up to GCSE exam season for our Year 11 students, we asked Maximise Your Potential, a company specialising in study skills, to run a webinar to help parents support their children in the run up to and through the exams.
We know that not everyone could attend so wanted to share the headlines, key resources and main tips from Jeremy’s session. We have run sessions with Jeremy many times in some of our schools and feedback from the students has always been very positive, so we hope you find this useful.
