Welcome from Jan Harazdiuk - HeadteacherSchool Uniform Policy

School Uniform Policy

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
has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Our colours are navy, sky blue and white and the uniform is as follows:

Boys

School navy sweatshirt with school logo
Sky blue or white polo shirt (available with school logo)
School navy reversible fleece jacket with school logo (optional)
Grey or navy trousers or shorts

Girls

School navy sweat cardigan with school logo
Sky blue or white polo shirt (available with school logo)

A pair of pumps or trainers for outdoor P.E.

Footwear

Training shoes may not be worn for school except for outside games. Dark (preferably black) shoes/boots should be sensible with a low heel. Open toed sandals, flip flops or Crocs may not be worn for school.

Book Bags

All children will be provided with a book bag with school logo upon entry to the school. This is for taking home books and letters etc. Replacement bags are available for purchase.

Jewellery and Hairstyles
On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school except for simple studs when ears have been pierced. Hairstyles should be sensible and suitable so that children can concentrate on learning.

Make up and Cosmetics
Make up and cosmetics are not considered appropriate or consistent with our school uniform. The school does not permit such products to be worn by any children, unless there is a specific event for which the Head has given permission.

All clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with your child’s name
