Uniform
School Uniform Policy Summary
At our school, we believe that a school uniform helps create a sense of belonging, promotes equality and supports a positive learning environment. We are committed to ensuring our uniform is inclusive, affordable and practical for all families.
Equality and Inclusion
Our uniform policy follows the Equality Act 2010. We:
- Do not base uniform items on gender – pupils may choose what they feel most comfortable wearing.
- Respect cultural and religious beliefs, including the wearing of headscarves and religious symbols.
- Allow reasonable adjustments to the uniform where required. Parents/carers should contact Mrs Stone (Headteacher) to discuss any requests.
Keeping Uniform Costs Low
We aim to keep uniform costs as low as possible by:
- Limiting the number of branded items.
- Allowing most uniform items to be purchased from supermarkets or high-street retailers.
- Avoiding frequent changes to uniform requirements.
- Offering pre-loved (second-hand) uniform through the school office.
