School Uniform Policy

Principles
Governors expect that all children will wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos.  We also believe it is important that certain activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours.  We provide a complete list of the items needed for children’s school uniform in this policy and in our school prospectus.

Aims
Our policy for children’s school uniform is based on the belief that a school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride in the school
• engenders a feeling of community and belonging
• is practical and smart
• identifies the children with the school
• does not distract from learning
• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents
• has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Our colours are royal blue, grey and white and the uniform is as follows:

Jewellery
We discourage the wearing of jewellery in school except for an analogue watch worn by those children who have begun to be able to tell the time. Suffolk County policy is to allow only stud earrings to be worn as sleepers can easily be caught and pulled. For reasons of safety it is also Suffolk County policy that no jewellery of any kind is worn during any form of P.E. lesson. Children should not wear even stud earrings on a P.E. day unless they are able to remove them themselves. If a child is wearing earrings that he/she is unable to remove then he/she will not be allowed to join in the lesson. If your child is to have his/her ears pierced please do so at the beginning of the long Summer holiday to allow time for them to heal so that no lessons are missed.

All clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.
