Dear Parents/Carers,
Friday 15th March – Red Nose Day – Rebellious Coloured Sock Day
We will be holding a coloured sock rebellion day on Friday 15th March in support of fundraising for Red Nose Day. Students will have the opportunity to make a £1 or £2 donation into buckets when they arrive at the gates at Avenue 1 and Avenue 2. This contribution is optional, as is the decision to wear rebellious coloured socks for the day or not. If students choose to wear coloured socks, they will need to follow the expectations detailed below.
- A student choosing to wear coloured socks on Friday 15th March must still wear their blazer, shirt, tie and shoes as per the Academy Uniform Policy.
- Students choosing not to wear coloured socks must still wear full school uniform as normal.
- Any other accessories for example, hats, scarves, bags, jewellery, gloves or any other items already prohibited by the behaviour policy will not be permitted and will be confiscated as normal, then kept in the student’s college office for the day.
- Students are welcome to wear their Red Nose or any other official Red Nose Day accessories on Friday 15th March.
As stated above, with the exception of coloured socks, full school uniform must be worn as normal.
We would like to assure you that learning will continue as normal in all lessons on Friday 15th March.
We have included some details regarding Red Nose Day over the page. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the info@labexley.org.uk email address.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs A Mann | Deputy Head of Holkham College
