Uniform

  • Uniform

'It is for the governing body of a school to decide whether there should be a school uniform policy and if so what that should be.  The Department (for Education) strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.'

 

The reason we, and almost all other schools, adopt a school uniform policy is because:

 

  • It helps to promote equality.
  • It promotes spiritual, moral, social, cultural development and British values, because although the school celebrates the diversity of its pupils, at the same time the uniform shows that children share one identity in being part of the school.
  • There are fewer distractions in lessons, by for example avoiding pupils being in competition with each other over what they are wearing.
  • It is important from a safeguarding perspective, in that it makes pupils easily identifiable.  This is particularly important on a school trip when supervising pupils.
  • It provides convenience for parents, by being more economical and reduces arguments with children over choice of clothing.
  • It promotes a sense of pride in the school.
  • It support the school's commitment to inclusion.
  • It is practical, smart and designed with health and safety in mind.
  • Encourages positive behaviour and self-discipline, which in turn supports teaching/learning.
