Uniform

Principles

It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos. We also believe it is important that certain activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for children’s school uniform in this policy and in our school prospectus.

Aims

Our policy for children’s school uniform is based on the belief that a school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride in the school

• engenders a feeling of community and belonging

• is practical and smart

• identifies the children with the school

• is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes might be)

• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance

• is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents

• is designed with health and safety in mind.

As a special treat, if they would like to, children our allowed to come in their own clothes for their birthday. If their birthday is at the weekend they can come in on the nearest school day with their own clothes on.

Pre-loved Uniform

School have a selection of pre-loved uniform on offer to families. This will be made available to parents once per half term or upon request to the school office, class teacher or Mrs Boardman.
