Welcome from Mr FranklinSchool Uniform Policy

School Uniform Policy

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 School uniform colours are burgundy, grey and white and consist of the following:

Plain white long or short sleeved shirt/blouse
Dark Grey long or short trousers (not cords, jeans, tracksuit bottoms, leggings or ski-pants)
Dark Grey skirts or pinafore dresses.
In summer red gingham dresses can be worn.
Burgundy V-neck pullover, sweatshirt or cardigan with school logo
Black leather shoes (plain, flat heels, formal style)
Plain dark or white socks (knitted black or white tights in winter) Please note Sports socks are for PE/Games
Suitable footwear (i.e. black, flat soled pumps) is necessary for indoor use. (From Year One onwards)
School burgundy fleece and/or reversible fleece jacket with school logo (optional)
Children who play football during breaks may wear their outdoor PE trainers to save wear and tear on their shoes.
Please remember – no designer wear.

All clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with your child’s name and we recommend that attention is paid to the ‘care label’ inside each garment. Please note: School is not responsible for the loss of uniform by children.
