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.
