SCHOOL UNIFORM

UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE.​

This code sets out the uniform and standard of appearance that the school expects from its pupils.  Governors are responsible for setting the uniform requirements in community schools and in this school we believe that a consistent approach helps to promote a sense of belonging.

The dress code is designed to help children in the classroom environment by preventing distractions and to ensure Health and Safety requirements are met.

The Governing body is very aware of the financial implications of buying school uniform and has therefore ensured that the majority of the uniform items are available at many supermarkets and stores

All pupils are expected to follow the uniform and dress code.  If it now followed a letter will be sent home asking for the problem to be remedied.  Parents and carers are welcome to discuss any problems with the Headteacher.
