CHILD PROTECTION and SAFEGUARDING

SCHOOL UNIFORM

School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within the student body. These factors contribute to students' wellbeing, removing the additional pressures of deciding what to wear and added stress of meeting the expectations of their peers.

 

Our Uniform

Children should come to school dressed in school uniform as outlined below.  

 

  • Grey/black skirt or pinafore
  • Grey/black trousers
  • White shirts/blouses/polo shirts. Plain white or T-shirts and roll neck tops are also acceptable 
  • Plain red jumpers or cardigans
  • Red sweatshirts or sweatcardis 
  • Plain grey or black summer shorts or short trousers, Bermuda shorts (cycle shorts are to be worn under skirts).
  • Red and white checked, or striped, summer dresses.
  • Footwear should be sensible flat shoes or trainers. Shoes or trainers should be plain black and not brightly coloured. 
  • Long hair, including long fringes, should be tied back with a coil or “ouchless” type hair band.

 

Children will also need:

  • PE kit of plimsolls (needed for apparatus work) white T-shirt and black shorts.
  • Games kit of warm tracksuit or something similar to wear when the weather is cold and outdoor trainers.
  • For safety reasons, long hair, including long fringes, should be tied back with a coil or “ouchless” type hair band during PE and earrings must be removed.
  • All clothes should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.
  • Jewellery or make-up may not be worn in school. The only exceptions are watches and plain gold or silver studs for pierced ears.
  • Younger children may also require a change of underwear or spare uniform in case of accidents!

 

Dress Down Days

The school will have dress down days every half-term or so, to raise funds for specific things, such as school trips or to purchase scenery/props for productions or specific charity events. We will let you know in advance which days are to be dress down days.

 

Please note that non-branded uniform can also be purchased from a retailer of your choice.
