We ask all parents/carers to support the school by encouraging your child to adhere to the agreed dress code and the wearing of our school uniform. The wearing of a school uniform helps promote the identity of the school in the local community and helps create an ethos of sharing and pride in the school.
We encourage all children to either wear a skirt or trouser uniform, with shirt and tie daily. On PE days pupils are permitted to wear a polo shirt, with skirt or trousers. Please note that leggings, casual shorts, hot pants or joggers are not school unform and any child wearing such items will be challenged, if necessary parents will also be contacted to request that children were appropriate school uniform.
In addition, the wearing of a uniform helps towards increasing the protection of all pupils. The wearing of a uniform helps staff and the pupils to distinguish between who belongs to the school and those who may be visitors. This enables staff to approach and identify visitors more readily and helps in trying to offer a safer environment for pupils and teachers alike.
Equality of opportunity is an important aspect of the life of the school. Any proposals on the dress code and on what constitutes the school uniform will be the subject of discussion with the Parent Council and where appropriate consultation with parents, pupils and staff.
Our parents support the following colours for our school uniform:
| Blazer | Maroon |
| Sweat Shirt | Maroon |
| Fleece | Maroon |
| Shirt | Pale Blue |
| Polo Shirt | Pale Blue |
| Tie | Maroon with stripes |
| Trousers | Grey |
| Jogging Trousers | Maroon |
| Skirt | Grey |
