School Uniform

We try to keep our approach to uniform as simple as possible and ensure that the costs are realistic. Good quality second hand uniform can also be purchased at different points during the school year from the Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Information regarding uniform is listed below. Children wear their PE kit to school on PE days

Please note

No hooded tops should be worn to school
No nail varnish, make up or temporary tattoos (other than for cultural reasons)
If a child arrives in school without suitable uniform it is the responsibility of the parent to inform the class teacher. If no reason is provided parents will be contacted directly and the child provided with a school sweatshirt for the day.
Where the uniform policy is deliberately ignored parents will be contacted directly as it is they who purchase their children’s school wear and they have been made aware of the schools expectations.
Where a child turns up for school inappropriately dressed e.g. unsuitable coat in winter or insufficient protection from the sun in summer, they will be supervised in the building.
