School Uniform
Statement of Equality
Under the Equality Act 2010 we have a duty not to discriminate against people on the basis of their age, disability, gender, gender identity, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
It is school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for school uniform below.
Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
-
promotes a sense of pride in the school;
-
engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
-
is practical and smart;
-
identifies the children with the school;
-
prevents children from coming to school in fashion clothes that could be distracting in class;
-
makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
-
is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents;
-
is designed with health and safety in mind.

Our school supports families wishing to access second-hand garments as cheaper and more environmentally sustainable alternatives to new purchases.
Provision of second-hand uniforms
As well as these two suppliers, our PTFA also collects and sells good quality second-hand uniform after school once per term at a reduced rate.
Please donate any good-conditioned uniform to the school office.
We ask all parents who send their children to our school to support the school uniform policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and ready for their daily schoolwork. One of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and that it is clean and in good repair.
