The Governors and staff expect the school uniform to be worn to school to encourage a sense of belonging and to avoid disputes over unsuitable clothing. The school uniform policy was formulated through consultation between members of staff, governors, parents and students.
Aims
This policy aims to:
- Set out our approach to requiring a uniform that is of reasonable cost and offers the best value for money for parents and carers
- Explain how we will avoid discrimination in line with our legal duties under the Equality Act 2010
- Clarify our expectations for school uniform
