School Uniform

The policy of the school governing body is that every child wears a school uniform. We request that parents adhere to it as it promotes a good attitude, a sense of belonging and generally assists the aim of self discipline and is a feature of our school.

Please write your child’s name clearly on the label of their clothing as many items are being left and lost.

Skirt/trousers/shorts - black

Blouse/polo shirt/shirt - white

Cardigan/sweatshirt with school logo - red

Gingham check dress - red and white

Footwear

Children should wear sensible black (preferably) outdoor shoes. Fancy shoes and high heels are not appropriate for school

There are occasions when our children are invited to come to school dressed differently e.g children in need, in order to raise funds for charity. However, on all other days we expect pupils to wear our uniform with pride.

In the interest of Health and Safety pupils are discouraged from wearing jewellery, and long hair needs to be tied back please. It is suggested that all items of clothing be clearly marked with the pupils name
