Uniform Information

  • Why wear a Uniform?

  • Wearing a uniform instils a sense of pride and discipline in students.
  • It stops children from worrying about what to wear each day.
  • Everyone is equal.
  • Parents don't have to shop for expensive and varied wardrobes for their children to
  • keep up with or show off to other children.
  • When we go on a school trip, we are easy to spot in a crowd

Our uniform is as follows:

  • School sweatshirt, cardigan, jumper – with school logo, if possible. White shirt or polo shirt – with or without the school logo.
  • Grey or black skirts, trousers, or tunic/pinafore. No jeans.
  • Summer Uniform: dresses or short suits in blue gingham, black or grey shorts.
  • Black school shoes.
  • Sensible trainers for PE days.
  • Grey, black or white socks /grey, black or white tights
  • Appropriate boots may be worn in winter

Hair, Make-up and Cosmetics:

  • Make-up and cosmetics, including nail varnish and temporary tattoos, are not

  • which the Headteacher has given permission.

Inappropriate kit, especially footwear, is a health and safety issue and your child may not
be able to participate in PE activities without it. Long hair must always be tied back for
health and safety reasons. Stud earrings only!

  • Goggles and a hat, if desired.
  • Children may wear their PE kit to school on swimming days to speed up getting dressed and undressed before and after the lesson.
