Welcome from Mrs GallantSchool Uniform Policy

School Uniform Policy

Principles
It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos. We also believe it is important that certain activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for children’s school uniform in this policy and in our school prospectus.

Aims
Our policy for children’s school uniform is based on the belief that a school uniform:

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
is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes might be)
makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents
has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Our colours are navy blue and sky blue and the uniform is as follows:

Boys

School navy blue sweatshirt (with school logo) or school royal blue sweatshirt in the Foundation Stage Unit (Nursery and reception)
School sky blue polo shirt (with school logo)
School navy bluebook bag with school logo
Grey trousers or grey shorts

Girls

Blue gingham dresses may be worn in the summer term

For PE all children need

Jewellery
On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school.

Make up and Cosmetics
Make up and cosmetics are not considered appropriate or consistent with our school uniform. The school does not permit such products to be worn by any children, unless there is a specific event for which the Head has given permission.

To ensure clothing is not lost, label all items with your child’s name.
