The Department for Education strongly encourages schools to have a school uniform. This page sets out the school’s policy and approach on uniform and confirms the school’s commitment to providing value for money to parents and ensuring that no pupils is discriminated against due to their gender, disability, religion or belief, economic circumstances or social and cultural background. 

The school uniform helps ensure that pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome. It protects pupils from social pressures to dress in a particular way; and nurtures cohesion, promoting good relations between different groups of pupils. 

This policy follows the DfE statutory guidance, ‘Cost of school uniforms’, published November 2021 and takes account of the non-statutory guidance, ‘School uniforms’, published June 2023. 

Our Local Governing Committee expect pupils to wear school uniform for the following reasons: 

• It fosters a sense of identity and belonging to a school community. 
• It promotes a sense of pride in the school, in line with our ethos and values. 
• It supports positive behaviour and discipline. 
• It is practical, comfortable and appropriate for activities in school. 
• It is affordable. 
• It helps pupils to feel equal and encourages cohesion. 
• It has been designed with health and safety in mind.
