The school feels it is important to have a school uniform policy for the following reasons:
- A sense of collective pride
- A public way of representing the school in a positive light
- Removing social pressure about appearance
- Ensuring safety (PE)
- Preparations for expectations in the wider world
- A benchmark for clarity for the school community
- To minimise the cost of the child’s clothing throughout the year
- Black smart shoes or trainers (plain black and no branding)
- Navy sweatshirt and/or cardigan with the school logo are available in the on-line uniform shop. However, plain navy sweatshirts, sweaters and cardigans can be purchased separately.
- Sky blue polo shirts with the school logo are available in the on-line uniform shop. However, plain sky blue polo shirts can be purchased separately.

- On PE days, children may come to school in PE kits. Children may wear unbranded navy tracksuit bottoms over shorts in colder weather.Hair Policy:
- The school does not permit children to have patterns, extensions or colouring in their hair.
- Hair which is longer than shoulder length, for either boys or girls, is advised
to be tied back. - Hair accessories such as hair slides or headbands must be small and need to be black or the school colours.
- No jewellery is to be worn to school. This includes friendship bracelets and charity bands.

Please be advised that no hoodies or externally branded sweatshirts are to be worn in school with the exception of the Y6 Leavers hoodie when appropriate.
All uniform items and bags must be labelled and named.
Non-adherence to the school uniform policy
We understand that everyone has occasional laundry disasters. On these occasions, please write a note to the class teacher to explain why the pupil is not in the required uniform. We also understand that shoes are occasionally damaged before a new pair can be purchased. We do ask, however, that the class teacher is notified and that the child returns to wearing the correct school uniform as soon as possible. If the child arrives to school not wearing the required uniform without a note of explanation to the teacher, then:
1.In the first instance, the child will be reminded about what constitutes the correct uniform and asked to wear it the next day.
2.On the second occurrence, the class teacher will contact the parent to ask for their cooperation in adhering to the school uniform policy.
3.On the third occurrence, a meeting between the parents and the Headteacher will be requested.
Children are ultimately responsible for their uniform, and if lost, the school will make every effort to help the child find these items. However, please be aware that we cannot accept responsibility for the replacement of lost items, especially if they are not named/labelled.
If you are having trouble sourcing or affording the required school uniform for your child, please contact the school and we have a bank of good quality, nearly new uniform available to families. Currently, there is no charge for this uniform although we would accept a small donation.
