What parents/carers can do to support school uniform?
We understand the tensions which can arise in homes when young people show disregard for their school’s uniform, or indeed when they pressurise their parents into buying expensive items of clothing which are not part of our dress code.
• Be aware of the benefits of school uniform and discuss these with your child.
• Stay committed to it. Sometimes the road may be rocky, but it is worth showing your support and commitment.
• Keep in contact with us. A united approach from school and home will reinforce the message to young people.
• If you are contacted by the school to inform you that your child is out of uniform, discuss it with him/her/them, set out your expectations and revisit the benefits.
• Praise your child for wearing their uniform every day.
