School Uniform

School uniform and general presentation including hair style plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of the school, setting an appropriate tone and expectation of high standards. Local Academy Councillors introduced the policy as a way of encouraging positive behaviour and discipline whilst protecting children and parents from the pressures of succumbing to the latest trends and fashions. We find that with all children wearing uniform, they have a sense of common identity and pride in membership of our school community. Parents say that it avoids competition for ‘designer garments’ and that it is cost effective.

Our uniform consists of:

• Royal blue sweatshirt/Cardigan.
• Sky blue/white polo shirt.
• Grey trousers/skirts/pinafore dresses.
• Royal blue fleece
• Blue/white checked summer dress.
• Girls – grey tights or white socks.
• Boys – black/grey socks.
• Plain black shoes/trainers/plimsolls.

Hair

Hair should be tidy, preferably tied up with a small tie in school colours. We discourage any ‘extreme’ hair styles, which attract undue attention such as shaved patterns or hair dye.

P.E Kit

• Black plimsolls or trainers; blue shorts.
• Plain-white t-shirt. P.E Kit should be brought in at the start of the term and kept in school. It should only be taken home every half term for washing. Please ensure that all clothing is clearly and permanently named.
