School Uniform Policy
1. Introduction:
It is our policy that all children should wear school uniform when attending St Monica’s Roman Catholic Primary School and when participating in a school-organised events outside normal school hours. This fosters a feeling of belonging to our community, and helps children feel equal to each other.
The school governors and leadership team consider personal appearance of the greatest importance and all pupils are expected to be in full school uniform at all times. It is the responsibility of all parents to ensure that their child arrives at school in accordance with the School Uniform Policy.
Children are not allowed to wear the following, Trainers, Boots, Hoodies, Denims, Leather or Brightly Coloured Coats, Brightly Coloured Hats or Scarves or any item of clothing with branding or logos. These items do not comply with St Monica’s Catholic Primary School’s Uniform Policy. As fashion trends can vary, the Head Teacher reserves the right to introduce additional instructions regarding uniform and presentation as and when necessary to preserve the general ethos of the School Uniform policy.
2. Aims and objectives:
Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform:
• promotes a sense of pride in the school and a feeling of community and belonging;
• is practical, smart and identifies the children with the school;
• is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes might be);
• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
• is regarded as suitable and good value for money and has been designed with health and safety in mind.
