Uniform & Labels
School Uniform enables pupils to take pride in and represent the school wherever they go. It promotes a sense of belonging and inclusion. It is therefore very important the uniform code is followed. Staff will remind parents and children if the school uniform expectations fall below the expected standard.

Labels
To avoid the loss of your property, it is essential that all items of equipment and uniform are labelled with the pupil's name, including surname.
We are enrolled with a company called My Name Tags, who produce name tags for children's possessions and clothing. If you buy your labels through My Name Tags, the school earns a commission.
