Aims:

Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education.

We understand that items with distinctive school branded characteristics (such as those that include a school logo or a unique fabric/colour/design) cannot be purchased from a wide range of retailers and that requiring such items limits parents’ ability to ‘shop around’ for a low price.  

We will make sure our uniform:

• Only has a small number of branded items 
• Is available at a reasonable cost
• Provides the best value for money for parents/carers
• Offers second hand 'nearly new' options

Pupils are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times (other than specified non-school uniform days) while:

• On the school premises
• Travelling to and from school
• At out-of-school events or on trips that are organised by the school, or where they are representing the school (if required)

Required Uniform Details:

Please clearly label with your child's name every item of their uniform and check it regularly in case it has washed out.

HAIR

Girls: Please support school by tying your daughter’s long hair up with sensible scrunches, ribbons or slides.  Hair braids can be a danger to other pupils in school so please refrain from allowing your child to have these done, unless there are cultural reasons for braids.  Hair dyes are not advised for school.

Boys: Please support us by not allowing your child to have his hair cut too short – as a general rule, number two is the shortest we allow.

VALUABLES/JEWELLERY

Staff cannot accept responsibility for the loss or damage of any amounts of money or jewellery including watches and toys. Moreover, we do not allow the wearing of earrings, including sleepers as they may cause injury.  These can be worn after school.  Children with recently pierced ears will be allowed to wear small studs covered with a plaster for a period of six weeks until the wound sets itself.
 

LOST AND FOUND
Please note that there is a large red plastic container in the KS2 area where any mislaid uniform and p.e. kits are stored. If your child does lose any of their school clothing, please come to the school office and we will direct you to the lost property box.
