A uniform is more than a badge or item of clothing, it gives a sense of belonging. We believe that the best uniform is one that is high quality, but most importantly – affordable for parents.
A uniform provides children with a routine that will benefit them as they move forward in their education. We have high expectations of all our pupils, and this includes uniform. All pupils are expected to attend in full uniform, unless alternative prior arrangements have been made (e.g due to sensory issues or an injury). Our uniform can be purchased from anywhere, with or without a badge.
The PTA operate a uniform swap. Please hand in outgrown uniform that is still in good condition to Mrs Smith and see the newsletter for details of the regular uniform swap events.
