Microsoft Outage – School Emails Not Being Received (13/11/2026)

You may be aware that Microsoft is currently experiencing a global outage. While it is largely unaffecting our school day today and classes continue as normal, it does mean that any emails sent to us from around 3pm yesterday have not been received and we are still not receiving emails today. 

Therefore, please call the school office on 0116 272 9100 if you need to contact us urgently. We expect that phone lines will be busier than usual so please bear with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Dress Code

Although Beauchamp College does not have a college uniform for students in Years 10-13, our dress code plays an important role in contributing to the ethos of the college and the wider school.

The dress code allows students to express themselves as individuals, but in an appropriate and modest way. It is particularly important that the dress code recognises that the school is a working environment for students from the age of 11, and further that student dress does not cause embarrassment to staff, students and other members of the school and wider community.Whilst students are given considerable freedom in determining how they dress to attend the school, the following items do not meet our expectations of dressing modestly;

  • Strapless or backless tops
  • Clothing which is revealing; for example, exposing bare midriffs or bottoms
  • Lycra shorts or tight fitting all in one suites 
  • Caps or hats worn indoors, or any item which obscures the face
  • Clothing which reveals underwear
  • Flip flops due to health and safety issues
  • Sliders
  • Clothing with offensive logos
  • False nails, as these are considered dangerous during PE lessons.

We also request that students follow the guidelines below regarding their appearance:

  • Only one small stud earring to be worn in each ear - students should not be wearing excessive amounts of jewellery
  • No facial piercings
  • Modest make-up
  • No long false nails which might impede the ability to learn
  • No extreme hair colouring
  • Sensible coats or jackets

All students are expected to arrive at college wearing clothing in accordance with these expectations. Students who arrive wearing items which do not adhere to these guidelines will be given clothing to borrow from our pre-loved uniform stock.
