Uniform Requirements

Uniform was introduced to Castleford High School in 1989 to establish an identity for pupils and recognition within the wider community to reflect a pride and image in the school.

Following discussions the governors of the school have reviewed the uniform requirements. These new requirements will take effect for all pupils from 1st September 2006.

*NEW* FROM SEPTEMBER 2007

Pupils will be required to wear a new 'Clip on' style school tie, this will replace the existing ties and is designed to make dressing for school smarter and easier.
