School Uniform

School Uniform

The Department for Education strongly encourages schools to have a school uniform. This page sets out the school’s policy and approach on uniform and confirms the school’s commitment to providing value for money to parents and ensuring that no pupil is discriminated against due to their gender, disability, religion or belief, economic circumstances or social and cultural background. 

The school uniform helps ensure that pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome. It protects pupils from social pressures to dress in a particular way; and nurtures cohesion, promoting good relations between different groups of pupils. 

This policy follows the DfE statutory guidance, ‘Cost of school uniforms’, published November 2021 and takes account of the non-statutory guidance, ‘School uniforms’, published June 2023. 

Our Local Governing Committee expect pupils to wear school uniform for the following reasons: 

  • It fosters a sense of identity and belonging to a school community. 
  • It promotes a sense of pride in the school, in line with our ethos and values. 
  • It supports positive behaviour and discipline. 
  • It is practical, comfortable and appropriate for activities in school. 
  • It is affordable. 
  • It helps pupils to feel equal and encourages cohesion. 
  • It has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Hair

Girls should tie long hair neatly back with unfussy bands / bobbles / slides to avoid it being pulled or caught especially during PE. Boys should have neat short hair without tramlines (again to avoid competition between children over latest trends). Extreme hair cuts / colours are not permitted. 

Jewellery

The wearing of any kind of jewellery in school is prohibited. The school cannot be held responsible for any lost items. Children who wish their ears to be pierced should wait until the beginning of the summer holidays, after which the earrings can safely be removed while in school. It is not permissible to cover earrings with a sticking plaster. Children may wear a watch, but this must be removed during PE lessons. Please note Smart Watches or fitness watches (Fitbits) are not permitted. Children are not to wear make-up including lip gloss, nail varnish or transfer tattoos for school. Fake tan, gel nails, acrylic nails and nail extensions are not permitted.
