School Uniform

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.

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 
• 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 school colours are royal blue, grey and white and the uniform is as follows:
