Uniform
It is important to turn up to school feeling that you belong and looking ready to learn. Our school uniform does exactly that. It makes our children look smart and provides an identity as a member of our education community.
Parents are asked to send their child to school in the uniform, detailed below, which was agreed by parents and members of staff as sensible, taking into account that some children travel long distances to school.
Please label all items of clothing with the child’s name.

School uniform and rules on appearance are central to parental perceptions of the school and the school’s reputation; they also play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of the school and setting an appropriate tone. We insist therefore that pupils are smart, tidy, well-presented pupils and take a pride in their uniform and appearance.
School uniform supports positive behaviour and discipline, encourages pupils to identify with and support the school ethos, ensures that pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome, protects children from social pressures to dress in a particular way and nurtures cohesion and promotes good relations between different groups of pupils. Above all, school uniform supports effective learning and behaviour.
In line with expectation that all pupils dress smartly, pupils’ hair is expected to be tidy and clean. No variations will be allowed for fashion trends. Hair is expected to be a natural colour. Hair art is not acceptable. The hair should not obscure the face and shaven heads are not acceptable.
Children are allowed to wear a watch, which must be removed for PE.
Pierced ears are allowed providing there is only one small stud per ear. The child is responsible for removing ear-studs for PE and games. No other jewellery should be worn.
