We strongly support the DfE philosophy that school uniform and dress codes play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of the school and in setting an appropriate school identity.

The School Uniform and Dress Code can:

• Instil a sense of pride
• Support positive behaviour and discipline
• Encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos
• Ensure pupils of all backgrounds feel welcome
• Protect pupils from social pressure to dress in a particular way
• Nurture cohesion and promote good relations between different groups of pupils
