Uniform
We believe that school uniform is important because:
- It contributes to a sense of belonging and fosters a feeling of pride in our school and takes away the need for children to decide what to wear on a daily basis;
-
Children need not be worried about issues of fashion or competitive dressing and promotes equality of opportunity;
-
It looks smart and makes a firm distinction between home and school, promoting a more business like attitude to work and learning.
We ask that all children wear the uniform and we encourage them to maintain a good standard of clean and tidy dress. The existence of a school uniform creates an even greater need for all items of clothing to be marked with the owner’s name.
