School Uniform

School uniform is an essential part of the school’s positive ethos and gives pupils a sense of pride and belonging to the school. There are many recognised benefits to having a consistent school uniform. These include:

  • Work Ready – Our young people need to be ready for life beyond school and be aware that their working life will have a dress code.
  • Security – It is easy to spot someone who does not belong to the school community.
  • Affordability – Eases pressure on young people not to have to wear brand names.

Perception – Uniforms enhance the image and reputation of the school in the local community

Expectations

We are determined that our young people will maintain a high standard of uniform and we rely very much on the support of you as parents and carers. The list below highlights the uniform expectations we have;
