Non-school uniform days
- Occasionally, to celebrate various events or as a house reward, there are ‘Non school uniform days’. On these days children must still wear clothes that are practical.
- Children must not wear overly short garments such as belly tops, crop tops, etc.
- Skirts/shorts must be of a reasonable length
- Footwear must be practical and ‘sensible’ – no flip-flops, crocs, high heels etc.
Compliance
Staff will monitor pupils to ensure they are in the correct uniform. A child in unsuitable uniform will be reminded of the guidelines. We will give any pupils and families breaching the uniform policy opportunities to follow the policy.
Ongoing breaches of our uniform policy will be dealt with by a letter being sent from the Principal reiterating the school expectations and giving a reasonable timeframe within which to comply.
