Uniform & Equipment

School uniform is required of all students in Years 7 to 11. We have a simple, smart, practical uniform.

Students are expected to take pride in their appearance and to represent themselves and the school well in public. Hair must be styled so that it does not interfere with work. If hair is dyed it must be of one natural hair colour. Hair should not have any shaved lines or patterns. Extreme hairstyle fashions are not allowed. Make up and jewellery are not allowed except for one pair of small, plain stud earrings, worn one stud in each ear lobe. Other facial or body piercing is not allowed. Extremes of fashion must be avoided. We try to make sure that school dress does not become a distraction so that we can all concentrate on learning and teaching. Where pupils do not adhere to the dress code, they will be asked to amend their dress and may be sent home to do so. Sixth form students are not required to wear uniform, but they should dress in a sensible manner appropriate to effective study and to life in a school where other students are wearing uniform.

Generic uniform items such as trousers, shirts, and blazers may be purchased online and from your local high street stockists. Items displaying the Liskeard School logo such as skirts, ties and PE kit must be ordered from one of our suppliers detailed below.

All items are available secondhand, please contact the school for more information. 

Students from years 7 to 11

Essential Equipment

Every day students must bring to school:

  • A Writing Pen
  • Purple ‘DIT’ pen
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Rubber
  • Sharpener
  • CASIO FX-83GT CW or CASIO FX-85GT CW calculator (it is important your child has this exact calculator for their Maths and Science lessons as not all calculators work the same way)
  • Planner
  • Green and Yellow Highlighters
  • Glue Stick

All of the above school stationery items and kits are available via ParentPay; items include calculators, exam pencil case, highlighters, water bottles and purple dit pens.

Stationery ordered for the start of a new academic year, will be handed out to tutor groups over the first few days back. If students do not receive items in the first week, they need to go to the Finance Office to collect the items and check the purchase. Students should not get into trouble for not having equipment in the first week.
