"Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Corinthians 16:14)

Uniform

 

The wearing of school uniform is compulsory and is strictly enforced for the following reasons:

  1. It helps to foster a sense of belonging to a community. 

  2. It enables a child not only to identify with but also to be seen as a member of the school. 

  3. It assures both parent and teacher that the child is wearing clothes that are smart and sensible, thus removing the potential problems that fashion and competition could bring about. 

Staff at the school will speak to children who are not wearing the correct uniform.

School Uniform

Pupils in Reception, year 1 and year 2 wear a white polo t-shirt and the school purple woolen jumper or cardigan, They may wear a white shirt and the a school elastic/clip on tie, instead of the polo t-shirt but this is not compulsory,
