Lift Tamworth is a ‘uniformed’ school. Therefore there is a clear expectation that pupils attending TEC will wear the full uniform, will wear it appropriately and that this expectation will be supported by parents.
If you are in any doubt about what is/is not permitted, please check with the school beforehand.

Lift Tamworth is a ‘uniformed’ school. Therefore there is a clear expectation that pupils attending Lift Tamworth will wear the full uniform, will wear it appropriately and that this expectation will be supported by parents.
Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform:
Uniform is worn by pupils in Years 7-11.
Recommended suppliers are listed at the end of this policy.
BLAZERS: Our new blazer is navy blue with our lion logo. Students in year 8-11 are permitted to wear their existing black TEC blazer until the point a new one is needed and then it will be the new navy blazer (parents can purchase this at any point).
Black, fitted, fashion-styled jackets will NOT be permitted
In warm weather the school will operate a ‘blazers off’ policy. Pupils will be informed when these days are operating. Alternatives to the blazer will not be permitted.
WHITE SHIRTS: All Years will wear a plain white shirt with a collar.
SCHOOL TIES: All years will wear the new school tie, which has been provided for free.
TROUSERS: All Years will wear plain (no decorative: buttons, zips, belts, etc) black, standard school trousers ONLY. Fashion trousers are not permitted. Trousers should not be tight-fitting or low-slung.
FOOTWEAR: only black, plain (no colour trim or logo at all) standard school shoes will be permitted. Black trainers, canvas-style shoes, backless shoes etc will not be permitted. Trainer-style school shoes (often displayed in the school shoes section of shops – reputable shoe shops included) are not permitted. Boots:We take the view that boots are practical, warm alternatives to shoes during snowy conditions.
Socks/tights: Black, grey or white school socks. Black or natural coloured tights (not patterned).
JUMPERS: Plain navy V neck jumpers only. If students have existing black v-neck jumpers these are allowed but no high-neck/ round neck jumpers are allowed. (NO HOODIES- with or without zip)

Belts: Plain black. If a belt is worn it should be for functional not decorative purposes. Maximum width for belt and for plain buckle = 4 cm.
SCARVES/HATS/GLOVES: Are permitted during winter months only and cannot be worn anywhere inside the building.
OUTDOOR COATS: Should be a practical weatherproof coat and can be worn over the blazer. Hoodies are NOTpermitted and will be confiscated.

There will be strictly no use of any other aspect of fashionable PE clothing.
