The wearing of school uniform is endorsed by the governing body for several reasons. It creates a sense of unity, and also sets a distinction between casual leisurewear and more formal attire.

Research into discipline in schools suggests that wearing full school uniform results in a positive, business-like attitude to work and improved standards of behaviour, both of which are conducive to a high standard of academic achievement.

We aim to reach the highest standards in terms of achievement and behaviour and value parents full support in our uniform policy.

ALL CLOTHES MUST BE LABELLED WITH THE CHILDS NAME

Only studs for pierced ears may be worn in school. In the interests of safety, studs must be removed for P.E. ideally before school. Due to new ECC regulations, we are no longer able to tape over earrings. If a child is wearing earrings when they are due to have P.E. or a sports club, they will be asked to remove them independently. Children will be responsible for their own jewellery whilst in school.  The wearing of any other form of jewellery in school is unacceptable. Children will be asked to remove items which will be kept at school for collection by parents between 3.00 - 3.30 p.m.
