The School Uniform Policy outlines expectations and guidelines for pupils, parents, and staff regarding uniform requirements, affordability, and inclusivity.
Key Points:
- Affordability & Value: The school ensures uniform is reasonably priced, offers value for money, and minimizes financial burden on families.
- Equality & Inclusivity: The policy aligns with the Equality Act 2010, allowing pupils flexibility in uniform choices regardless of gender identity, religious beliefs, or sensory needs.
- Uniform Expectations: Pupils wear a simple, accessible uniform with an optional school logo. Velcro shoes and easy-to-wear items are encouraged for independence.
- Where to Purchase: Uniform with the logo is available from designated shops, while non-branded items can be bought from various retailers. The school facilitates a preloved uniform exchange.
- Responsibilities:
- Pupils: Expected to wear appropriate uniform at school and events.
- Parents: Ensure clothing is clean, labeled, and in good condition. Can request amendments based on financial or personal needs.
- Staff & Governors: Monitor compliance, address hardship with sensitivity, and review the policy every three years.
