Uniform
In preparation for the world of work, we expect children to learn how to present themselves. We teach children that it takes 20 seconds to inform an impression of someone. Uniform also enables us to have a collective school identity. We understand that uniform can be expensive and so we do not require items with the school logo but we do expect that children wear appropriate uniform in school colours.

Any hair accessories should be black in colour.
P.E.
Plain black shorts for indoor/hot weather or black joggers for cold weather.

Footwear for P.E. must be appropriate and safe. P.E. is compulsory and if footwear is not appropriate, children will be given sandshoes to wear.
The DFE state: ‘Teachers can discipline pupils for breaching school rules on appearance or uniform’
In consultation with you, we agree that sending children home for uniform breach is just learning time wasted and so these will be the stages for non-compliance of uniform.
Stage 1 - Class teacher will speak to the child in the first instance to remind them of appropriate uniform items. (This will be done discreetly)
Stage 2 - Class teacher will speak to the parent to remind them of the policy.
Stage 3 - Child will be given spare uniform/shoes to change into.
Stage 4 - Formal meeting with parents with a member of the Senior Team.
If there is a reason why your child cannot wear any of the clothing above, please speak to one of the Senior Team for advice and support.
