Uniform & Dress Code

At the BTIT Sunday Islamic School we do not have a formal school uniform as we are only a one day a week school. We do however expect a dress code to be followed.



Girls’ Uniform: Plain Headscarf (Hijab) and Plain black Abaya (Jilbab). This dress code is preferred for girls in year groups; Reception to Year 4. This dress code is compulsory for girls in year groups; Year 5 – Year 10.

Boys’ Uniform: Plain Topi (Kufi) and preferred to wear a plain Qamees/Jubba (Thawb).

Sports Uniform: It is essential for all students to wear trainers, tracksuit bottoms and t-shirts for their sports lessons. These items can be worn under the Jubba or Jilbab or can be brought in a separate PE Bag.

Please Note: Our sports sessions are mixed (boys and girls) for children up to Year 4. Older boys and girls have a segregated sports lesson.
