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.
Extremes of dress or appearance are not acceptable and the Governors reserve the right to decide what constitutes ‘extreme’.
Termly notices/reminders about uniform will be given via the school newsletter including the dates for second hand uniform sales.
