Our uniform policy:
- reflects agreed standards of student dress that have been consulted on by staff, students and is appropriate to the needs of the environment, individuals, and the activity undertaken within the school day.
- is reviewed annually and consultation informs any changes that may be made in how it is worn.
- recognises that the wider world of work contains a number of professions that hold similar expectations about how employees dress whilst in their employ and so school uniform or dress codes are an appropriate stepping stone to these expectations.
- takes into consideration how different students may identify in terms of gender and provides opportunities for them to dress in a way that is more helpful for how they understand themselves.
- underpins our belief that wearing a uniform, helps to minimise any real or perceived economic inequalities between families.
- ensures that the price point is taken into account alongside quality and durability when determining providers and items for our uniform.
- meets school goals towards sustainability
- meets government guidance on school uniform.
