2021-2023

1 Introduction

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in school-organised events outside normal school hours. We ask children to wear their shirts tucked into their skirts or trousers and to take a pride in their personal appearance. Some items of uniform can be bought from school (e.g. ties), whilst others are easily available, at competitive prices from MAPAC: ( https://www.mapac.com/education/parents?uniform=s )

Summer Uniform – Summer Term and Autumn (first-half term only)

Winter Uniform – Autumn (second half-term and Spring Term)

2 Aims and objectives

Our policy on school uniform is based on the belief that school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride in our school;

• helps to create a sense of community and belonging towards the school;

• identifies the children with the school;

• supports our commitment to inclusion;

• prevents children from wearing ‘fashion clothes’ that could be distracting in class;

• is practical, smart and designed with health and safety in mind;

• is considered good value for money by most parents;

 3 Jewellery, Hair Ornaments, Make-up and Nail Varnish

For health and safety reasons we do not allow children to wear any jewellery. The exception to this rule is ear-ring studs in pierced ears or religious jewellery (e.g. beads related to faith). Children are required to remove any items during PE lessons to prevent them from causing injury. If they cannot be removed, they must be taped in order to participate in the session.   Long hair should be tied back at all times with a plain hair band.  

4 Footwear

External shoes - All children are required to wear plain black shoes or trainers with minimal logos. Coloured trainers are not permitted. If boots are worn these should also be plain black. All children should have footwear which allows them to run and move freely, especially for the Golden Mile. Please make sure child can manage to do up their shoes independently.

Internal shoes – Plimsols must be worn in the school building throughout the school year.

5 The Role of Parents

Please ensure that:

- full names are on all items of clothing

- correct uniform is supplied

If a parent has difficulties for any reason with fulfilling this request, please speak confidentially to a member of staff. Parents should be assured that we will do all we can to help.

Should a parent wish to request a modification to the uniform policy they should, in the first instance, contact the Headteacher.

 6 The Role of Governors

The Governing Body supports the Headteacher in implementing the school uniform policy. They liaise with the headteacher to ensure that the policy is implemented fairly and with sensitivity.
