The policy of the school is that children wear school uniform. This is based on a belief that the uniform, among other things, provides a shared sense of identity and belonging, and supports the school’s commitment to inclusion. Full school uniform is compulsory.
Sweatshirts, cardigans and PE t-shirts can all be purchased with the school logo, but this is not compulsory.

Role of Parents
We believe that one of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, and that it is clean, in good repair and that the child’s name is written on all items. If a parent has difficulties for any reason with fulfilling this request, they are asked to speak confidentially to a senior member of staff to discuss the issues. Parents should be assured that we will do all we can to help. Children who arrive at school wearing non-school uniform clothing will be loaned an appropriate item to wear for that day – or parent asked to bring correct uniform in. The same system will apply for children who do not have a PE kit.
Variation
The school welcomes children from all backgrounds and faith communities and respects the right of pupils to observe their religion or belief.
Religious clothing, head coverings, symbols or other items worn as part of religious observance or belief are permitted. This may include, but is not limited to, hijabs, turbans, kippahs and crosses.
Such items should be plain, simple and discreet, where this is reasonably possible and consistent with the requirements of the school uniform. They must not compromise health and safety, safeguarding or the child’s ability to participate fully in school activities.
Where a religious item needs to be removed, adapted or replaced for health and safety or participation in a particular activity, the school will discuss an appropriate alternative with the child and their parent/carer wherever reasonably possible.
Parents who have queries may wish to contact the Headteacher.
Non-uniform days
Children should wear appropriate clothing on non-uniform days, e.g no crop-tops, heeled shoes, jewellery (except one pair of studs) and make up.
