School Uniform
The governing body has a statutory duty placed upon it to ensure that school policies promote good behaviour and discipline amongst the pupil body. We believe that a smart school uniform worn by all children will promote a sense of purpose and discipline which is the foundation for both personal and academic development. Moreover, it contributes to a sense of community and belonging, central to our ethos, as all our children identify with each other and the school.
The wearing of a uniform will create a sense of identity and pride in the school. The children will learn to take pride in their personal appearance. By insisting on correct uniform, the parents will be assured that their children are wearing clothes that are appropriate and safe for school life. We expect all parents/carers to be in support of our policy. All items, including PE kit, must be clearly named so that lost property can be quickly returned.
Our uniform consists of:
- White shirt or red or white polo-shirt (logo optional)
- Black or grey trousers or knee length shorts, skirt or pinafore
- Red jumper, sweatshirt or cardigan (logo optional)
- White, grey or black socks or tights
- Sensible black shoes or boots (no trainers) that can be fastened easily
- Red and white checked summer dress (optional)
- Warm, waterproof outdoor coat (as necessary)
- Reading book bag (house team colour) that is given by school, a replacement can be purchased from school.
For PE your child will need:
- Black shorts (plain, no logo or stripes)
- Black joggers and hoody (with the school logo or plain, no other promotional logo or stripes) for cold weather
- School T-shirt in your child’s House Colour – blue, red, green or purple
- Pumps or plain trainers for outdoor P.E.
- P.E. bags – can be purchased through school
Jewellery must not be worn in school. A watch (not smart) and small studs are allowed if ears are pierced. For safety reasons earrings must be removed or covered by the children themselves for P.E., swimming and climbing.
We ask that children who have long hair wear it fastened back using a bobble and headwear that is conservative (no large flowers, unicorns etc.). We ask that a clip or headband is used for longer fringes that may get in the way.
