School Uniform Policy
1 Introduction
1.1 It is our policy that all children should wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours with the exception of residential visits. A complete list of the items needed for school uniform can be found below.
2 Aims and objectives
2.1 Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform :
-
supports positive behaviour and discipline;
-
promotes a sense of pride in the school;
-
engenders a feeling of community and belonging;
-
is practical and smart;
-
encourages identity with and underpins the ethos of the school;
-
is not distracting in class;
-
makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
-
is regarded as suitable, and good value for money by parents;
-
has been designed with health and safety in mind.
3 Jewellery
3.1
On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in school. The exceptions to this rule are ear-ring studs in pierced ears and wrist watches. We ask the children either to remove these objects during PE and games, or to cover them with a plaster. Parents will be requested to write a letter of disclaimer if they are unwilling to comply with this guidance.
4 Extreme haircuts
4.1
The school does not permit children to have haircuts that could serve as a distraction to other children.
5 Footwear
5.1
The school wants all children to grow into healthy adults. We believe that it is dangerous for children to wear shoes with platform soles or high heels in school and request that parents consider their child’s health, safety and welfare as priority. Neither do we allow children to wear trainers to school; these are appropriate for sport or as leisurewear, but are not in keeping with the smart appearance of a school uniform. We expect all children to wear the types of shoe described in the uniform list.
6 The role of parents
6.1
We ask all parents who send their children to our school to support the school uniform policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and ready for their daily schoolwork. It is a parental responsibility to ensure that their child wears the correct school uniform each day, and that it is clean and in good repair.
6.2 If any parent would like the school to modify the uniform policy, they should make representation, in the first instance, to the Headteacher. St Anne’s welcomes children from all backgrounds and faith communities. If there are serious reasons, for example religious objections, why parents want their child to wear clothes that differ from the school uniform, the school will look sympathetically at such requests and the governors will be required to make a decision. Similarly, should an item of school uniform prove problematic for a pupil with disabilities, then parents are invited to draw this to the attention of the Headteacher. The school will not treat pupils with disabilities unfavourably.
