School Uniform

School uniform helps a child to identify with the school and to feel part of the school community. Children are expected to wear school uniform because:

• Children can be identified more easily on school visits
• Parents are not pressured to buy the latest fashions for school
• Children feel part of a team and the wider school community
• School uniform is cheaper than fashion clothing.

Bottle green fleece, jumper or cardigan with school logo
White shirt or polo shirt (logo optional)
Dark grey shorts or trousers
Dark grey skirt or pinafore dress
Green and white checked dress
