Are you smart and ready to learn?
Our policy on school uniform is based on the belief that school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride in our school;
• helps to create a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
• identifies the children with the school;
• supports our commitment to inclusion;
• is practical, smart and designed with health and safety in mind;
• is considered good value for money by most parents;

Expectations
We expect all pupils to be smart and ready to learn. We ask that parents ensure their child comes to school in the recommended uniform colours.If a child is not wearing appropriate uniform the class teacher will speak to parents and give them the opportunity to rectify this. Families will also be offered support if needed to ensure their child has access to the school uniform.

The Role of Parents
We believe that one of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, and that it is clean, in good repair and that the child’s name is written on all items.

The Role of Directors
The Directors support the Headteacher in implementing the School Uniform Policy. They consider all representations from parents regarding the uniform policy and liaise with the Headteacher to ensure that the policy is implemented fairly and with sensitivity. It is the Directors’ responsibility to ensure that the school uniform meets all regulations concerning equal opportunities.

Equality Impact Assessment
We as a school community have a commitment to promote equality. Therefore, an equality impact assessment has been undertaken and we believe this policy is in line with the Equality Act 2010 as it is fair, it does not prioritise or disadvantage any pupil and it helps to promote equality at this school.
