OUR EXAM RESULTS ARE THE BEST EVER!!!

THE MEOLE BRACE SCHOOL CLASS OF 2011 ARE IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN!

Meole Brace School Science College has achieved its best ever GCSE examination results with a fantastic 73% of
Year 11 students gaining at least 5 GCSE passes at grades A*-C including English and Maths.

Amazingly, 20 students achieved the remarkable feat of passing all their examinations with grades of A* or A, again a record result for the school.

Congratulations to you, our brilliant Year 11's, from the staff, Years 7-10 and all our friends and supporters in the Meole Brace community.  We wish all of you the very best in your future lives and careers and don't forget:  you will always be a part of Meole Brace School.

GOOD LUCK!

Uniform

 


                                                                             
We expect our students to look smart at all times and to be readily
identifiable as belonging to Meole Brace School. To this end and
with the benefit of consultation with the students themselves, we
have chosen an attractive and practical uniform. Our parents tell us
that they appreciate the simplicity, smartness and easy maintenance
of this uniform as it avoids any question of what to wear in our very
fashion conscious society and is very reasonably priced. Furthermore
it contributes considerably towards the setting of high standards,
both in and out of the classroom and creates a strong sense of pride
and community in our school. 
In terms of what is generally acceptable, we find that for the most
part a simple test of common sense is usually a good guide. For
example, it is evident that we would not encourage extreme hairstyles
or outfits more appropriate for weekend wear! We are aware that
fashion styles and trends change frequently and therefore if you are
in any doubt, please contact me at school at any time for further
advice or clarification.
Items of uniform available from Meole Brace School include the white
polo shirt with MBS logo, for both key stage 3 and 4 students, priced
at £9.50 and the navy blue sweatshirt, again with logo for both key
stages, priced at £12.50. Alternatively, you may prefer to purchase
just the sew on logo at £3 and add this to a plain polo shirt or
sweatshirt from an alternative supplier.
In your own interests it is important that each item of schoolwear is
clearly marked with the child's name. This will enable us to reunite
clothing and owner much more quickly in the event of loss.
NB Please remember that choosing Meole Brace School implies a
willingness to conform to our school uniform guidelines at all times. 
This policy is also fully endorsed and approved by the school's board
of governors.
A more detailed description of MBS school uniform is attached below
for your information.

UNIFORM POLICY GUIDELINES

 

With effect from September 2009, Meole Brace School ScienceCollege uniform guidelines are as follow:

 

 

Shoes:                      Sensible black or brown shoes, suitable for everyday school wear.  Training shoes, pumps, boots of any kind, sandals, high heels or footwear of any other colour is not permitted.

 

Trousers:                 Black school type trousers only.  Hipsters, flared trousers, denim material or trousers of any other colour are not permitted.  Belts should be dark in colour and of the type that loop through the trousers.  They should not be excessively wide or bulky, studded or brightly decorated.

 

Polo shirts:              White school polo shirts only, with blue or burgundy school logo.  If a T-shirt is worn under the polo shirt, it must also be white and devoid of any visible logo, design or brand name.

 

Sweatshirts:            Please note that from September 2008 the wearing of the school sweatshirt is compulsory in the classroom. Sweatshirts will be navy blue in colour for all students with a blue or burgundy school logo to denote lower or upper school groups.

 

                                    In warm weather conditions staff will usually permit students to remove sweatshirts if they so wish.

 

Coats:                       Sensible outdoor garments, appropriate for everyday school use must be worn; these should be of plain style with no excessive pattern or stripes.  An important definition of an acceptable coat is an item having either a zip fastener or a set of buttons all the way down the front.  Tops which are pulled on and off over the head do not meet this criterion and are not permitted.  The only exception to this rule is a waterproof cagoule type coat worn in wet or inclement weather.  Leather and denim garments, together with tracksuit or jogging tops are likewise not acceptable as appropriate school outerwear.

 

Headgear:                The wearing of baseball caps or headgear of any sort is not permitted in the school buildings at any time.

 

Jewellery:                 Students may wear one stud or hoop type earring per ear and a watch.  No other forms of visible jewellery are permitted.  All forms of facial piercing are strictly forbidden
