Uniform
Our school uniform is a very important part of our school identity. It is not optional. Our Uniform Policy can be found on the Policy page of our website.
Our school uniform is in place to support our pupils enjoyment, safety and learning at school. We think that children should wear practical and affordable clothes to allow them to move freely and engage in physical activity through the day.
We know many of our children walk or cycle to school and we understand that parents may prefer them to have a coloured coat to promote visibility.
We have a rail in the entrance with good quality uniform and coats that have been donated - please feel free to come in and help yourself. If your child has grown out of their uniform, please donate it to friends with children at the school, or directly to us. If you are struggling to find uniform, please speak to Mrs Fallows our Learning Mentor through the office.
Halewood UniWise is a local school uniform recycling initiative. They run between July and August each year and are able to supply clean school uniforms with lots of wear left in them.

We are aware that a very small minority of pupils have significant sensory needs and may struggle with some parts of uniform. We can help you with this! Please speak to Miss Dunedin for advice.
We can also help you to help your child, we have spare uniform and PE kits for pupils who arrive in school not wearing uniform. Please get in touch if you are struggling.

Hair should be neat and tied back if long, with no extreme hairstyles. Jewellery is not permitted except for small stud earrings, and nail polish is not allowed.
