New School Uniform
Background
In June of last year some observations were made by parents regarding the school uniform. In light of this the Parent Council raised this issue with the school and we decided to look at how we could take this forward. It was agreed that we should move away from having the two colours to a single colour. This will help to promote the identity of the school. Also, the pupils are already very proud of their school and we want to build on this. A smart uniform helps to promote that pride in the school.
We realised that trying to agree on a single colour would be tricky. With many different views already expressed, we decided to consult the pupils through the Pupil Council and take on board their views. They arrived at a consensus and we have taken their suggestion forward. The pupils have decided on Royal Blue.
New Uniform
So, following consultation with the Parent Council and Pupil Council over the past few months we are very pleased to introduce the new school uniform. Arrangements for phasing in the new uniform by this time next year are detailed below.
The new uniform will start from August 2014. There will be a phasing in process but we hope that as from Christmas 2014 all children will have adopted the new school colours. Meanwhile, we still have green and grey sweatshirts in stock. For anyone who feels their child will need a new sweatshirt to see them through to the Summer holidays we are selling these at a reduced price from 3rd February.
As from August 2014 the uniform will be:
- Royal Blue sweatshirt, v-neck jumper or cardigan (with school badge)
- Grey/black school trousers, skirt or pinafore
- White polo shirt
- Black/ dark coloured shoes
Information on how to buy the new uniform will be issued to parents in due course.
