Welcome from Guru Carana Padma dasi - HeadteacherSchool Uniform Policy

School Uniform Policy

We expect all children to wear school uniform. We ask parents and carers to make sure that their child is clean and tidy every day. We also ask that everything your child wears or brings be marked in order to avoid loss. Our school colours are royal blue and navy, with children wearing navy or black shoes when arriving and leaving the premises. Boy’s hair should be short and if sikhas are worn they should be tidy. Girl’s hair should be worn tied back or groomed neatly if short. We also encourage the wearing of tilak.

We believe that a school uniform is important as it:

Promotes a sense of pride in the school;
Engenders a feeling of community and belonging;
Is practical and smart;
Identifies the children with the school;
Makes children feel equal to their peers in appearance;
Is regarded as suitable and good value for money by most parents;
Has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Our school uniform is as follows:

Royal blue sweatshirt or royal blue cardigan with embroidered school logo
White polo shirt with embroidered school logo
Royal blue reversible fleece jacket with embroidered school logo (optional)
Royal blue knitted vest with embroidered school logo (optional)
