Uniform
We believe that the wearing of a school uniform enables children to identify with their school, gives a sense of belonging, is practical and smart, reinforces a positive work ethos and high standards, and reduces expenditure for parents.
Our uniform is affordable, simple, flexible and non-discriminatory, to comply with the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act 2010. For those in need, we provide it free of charge. Pupil Premium children can claim back the cost of any uniform expense. If pupils or parents need alternative arrangements, that can be arranged through the headteacher.
We are an eco school, and strongly encourage parents to swap and reuse uniforms. We do this termly.
