School Uniform is compulsory for all pupils attending the school. We are proud of our uniform and our aim is that it should be smart, practical, affordable and distinctive. Uniform can be purchased from several outlets – as detailed in this policy.
In deciding the uniform the following factors have been taken into account:
Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform.
We understand that items with distinctive characteristics (such as branded items, or items that have to have a school logo or a unique style) can be more expensive and should be kept to a minimum. We also understand that pupils and parents value having a school identity and that uniform is part of who we are in the community.

Non–Uniform Days (Mufti)
From time to time there are Mufti days usually to raise money for charities or school funds. On these days the children may wear what they like, or what parents wish them to wear as long as the garments worn are safe and practical for school purposes. Children may wear mufti on these days whether or not a donation to the charity is made.
