Principles - It is our policy that all children must have full school uniform, worn correctly, for daily attendance at school. We very much appreciate parents' support in ensuring that the children have the correct uniform and attend school smartly dressed. We regard this as a very important factor in the success of the school.
The Role of Governors - Governors ensure that the school uniform policy helps children to dress sensibly, in clothing that is hardwearing, safe and practical whilst remaining economical for parents. Most items can be easily obtained from any popular store. However, sweatshirts and cardigans need to be ordered from our uniform stockist.
Aims - Our policy is based on the belief that a school uniform is essential to the ethos of our school community as it establishes a clear sense of identity, fosters a sense of inclusive belonging, and engenders both positive behaviour and self-discipline, which in turn supports teaching and learning.
