School Uniform Policy
This
policy provides guidance for a dress code for pupils, which supports the
fulfilment of the school’s vision:
Our School Vision is for each
member of our school family to experience life in all its fullness both now and
in the future. We are an inclusive
welcoming community valuing everyone for who they are and enabling all to
flourish.
The
core business of this school is teaching and learning. We feel that is
important that pupils are able to focus on learning and develop positive
attitudes to learning. For these reasons we think it is important that, at
school, children wear simple, affordable and practical clothes that allow them
to engage actively in the school curriculum.
A
simple dress code or uniform allows children to forget about what they are
wearing or indeed, what others are wearing. It takes the pressure out of
choosing clothes for school. It allows children, at least while they are in
primary school, to be children - all equal - all in school to learn.
