SCHOOL UNIFORM

The school is frequently complimented on the children’s appearance and
behaviour. We believe that the children wearing uniform is part of this reputation
as it helps them to develop pride in their appearance and a sense of belonging to
the school. Therefore, all children are encouraged to wear the uniform.
Nursery and Reception children wear a red polo shirt instead of a shirt and tie.
We ask parents to ensure that long hair is tied back for health and safety reasons.
Please note that children are NOT allowed to attend school with extreme hairstyles
i.e. Tramlines, mohicans, shaved, dyed extreme colours etc. Hair extensions are
not suitable for school activities either.
