School Uniform
We believe that uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school. We want the children to look smart and to feel a sense of belonging and pride in being a part of our school. We aim for our uniform to be smart, durable and affordable. As well as outlining our expectations in relation to uniform, this policy also provides clear guidelines on children’s appearance when at school.
