Uniform policy

Date for review:

Rationale

We believe that a school uniform is important for all of our children. It is thought that our uniform appears to be smart and well-presented and it helps to create a sense of belonging to our school community. Our children feel proud to wear their uniform. We also understand that a school uniform can help prevent feelings of inequality by comparing to how others may appear in branded, casual clothing.

Our school uniform is designed with our broad curriculum in mind and is suitable for the range of school activities that all children enjoy during their time in school. Many aspects of our school uniform can be purchased ‘off the shelf’ for a modest cost. We intend for our uniform to be cost-effective, without creating unnecessary burden for our families. There are items available with the school logo attached through our school website but these are not compulsory.
