The Governors and staff believe that the wearing of school uniform:

• · Promotes equal opportunities
• · Makes an important contribution to raising standards
• · Is a social leveller
• · Creates a strong and recognisable school identity
• · Provides protection from peer pressure
• · Aids child safety on school visits

Long hair must be tied up in a band. Children should not wear jewellery for P.E. Earrings must be either removed or micropore tape must be provided from home to cover them during P.E lessons.

Children who do not bring PE kit to school will be provided with clean second hand clothing to wear instead.

We ask you that you clearly mark items of clothing with your child’s full name. Many items of clothing are identical and it is impossible to trace their owners without clear identification. Children should not wear jewellery to school.
