DUNCANRIG UNIFORM POLICY

WHY DO WE VALUE OUR SCHOOL UNIFORM?

A uniform is central building a sense of community among students, staff and parents as well as the local community. Wearing school uniform demonstrates that we are proud to represent our school, and helps to promote the positive role our school plays in supporting our community. 

Wearing a uniform sets a boundary by supporting the idea of a  ‘working environment’ mindset and helps us separate home and school life. School uniform ensures their is a level playing field for all pupils, and reduces the pressure to wear the latest fashionable brands. 

School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within the student body. These factors contribute to students’ wellbeing, removing the additional pressures of deciding what to wear and added stress of meeting the expectations of their peers. Uniform removes the points of difference between students, thus unifying the student body and providing a greater focus on quality school work.
