Uniform

Our school uniform is navy blue and grey as the predominant colours.

We believe that a school uniform is an integral and important part of our school:

A school uniform looks smart and contributes to a sense of belonging and community. It enables children to feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance and fosters a feeling of pride. We ask that all children wear the uniform and encourage them to maintain a good standard of clean and tidy dress in school.

The uniform is designed to be practical, maintainable and good value for money. Our uniform is designed with health, safety and well being in mind. There is no necessity to purchase school embroidered polo shirts/printed PE t-shirts. Plain supermarket versions in the same colour are entirely acceptable. We do suggest purchasing one embroidered polo shirt and one printed PE T-shirt as this can be useful to help identify on school trips and when representing the school.

Parents are asked to ensure that all items are labelled clearly with their child’s name.

For health reasons it is important that children are properly dressed for physical activity. PE kit should be kept in a named bag.

The school uniform for all children is listed below with further information on hair, jewellery and make-up.
