A school uniform is important in building the pupils’ sense of identity and belonging to the community of the school. It instils a sense of pride in the school and supports positive behaviour. It is one of the symbols of the ethos of the school and protects children from social pressures whatever their race, religion, gender or background.
There are other advantages to having a school uniform which are important, such as security. A uniform enables pupils to be identified easily and means that any intruders can be identified swiftly.
Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
We strongly suggest that each individual item of school uniform is clearly labelled with your child’s name.If your child wants to wear a hijab, please can the hijab be one of the following colours: white, turquoise, navy or black. Although we love sparkles, please keep those for special occasions and ensure your child’s hijab is plain. For safety reasons during PE (especially gymnastics) we will ask children to wear a sports hijab or may have to ask children to remove their hijab during the PE session.
