At Acomb First School, we have a school uniform which all children are expected to wear everyday whilst learning. We believe that our uniform is colourful, comfortable and easy to maintain and stands out as something our children are proud to wear each and every day as a child of Acomb First School. It also helps to create a sense of community and belonging.
Our aims and objectives
Our policy on school uniform is based on the belief that we are pleased to wear a uniform that:
-
Ensure clarity of what can and cannot be worn
-
Promotes a sense of pride in our school
-
Helps to create a sense of community and belonging towards the school
-
Identifies pupils within the school
-
Prevents pupils from wearing ‘fashion clothes’ that could be distracting in class
-
Is practical, smart, and designed with health and safety in mind
-
Is considered to be good value for money and inclusive
