Dress Code |

We believe that a school uniform is important because:
· It looks smart · Wears well · Contributes to a sense of belonging · Gives a common purpose · Fosters a feeling of pride
. Is cost effective for parents
. Removes focus from brands or fashion and acts as a social leveler
We keep uniform costs as low as possible by allowing chain store choices of skirts/ dresses/ shirts/ trousers and shorts. We buy and sell school jumpers and PE kit at no profit to the school and we provide every child's first book bag free of charge. We offer quality pre-loved uniform where we can. We believe this makes dressing for school very economical. In return we ask for your support to ensure your child wears their uniform with respect and pride so school presents its self in the manner that our pupils deserve. Your help in maintaining the current high standards is appreciated. Please see the dress code below.
