Your Uniform Policy

 

1. Principles

We encourage children to wear our distinctive uniform as we believe that it looks smart, wears well and contributes to a feeling of belonging to the school. Parents appreciate this and we are grateful for their continued support and co-operation, as this is a significant factor in keeping all our pupils looking smart.

Jewellery many not be worn because it is likely to expose the wearer and others to risks. However, it is recognised that some children have pierced ears and these children may wear small studs which they need to be able to remove themselves for PE.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL CLOTHING, PE KIT AND BAGS ARE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE CHILD’S NAME.

2. Ordering

Small items of uniform (ties, book bags, sports shirts and PE bags) can be purchased from the school via a child’s sco-pay account. New parents to the school must obtain a registration code from the school office to set up an account.

All other items must be purchased via our supplier, Brigade. Orders can be placed via their website www.brigadeuniformdirect.uk.com.
