Our School Uniform
It is the policy of the School that all children should wear the full school uniform. We ask that parents/ carers co-operate fully with this policy. The wearing of school uniform is desirable for the following reasons:
- It gives children a sense of belonging to the school family.
- It gives children a sense of pride in their school.
- It gives children a sense of equality.
