Uniform

Uniform

We have a clear uniform policy and expect students to wear this with pride every day. We take following our uniform policy seriously because what we look like matters and we have high standards in everything that we do.  

We, of course, want students to wear their uniform proudly. We want to develop a sense of belonging which is so important in building communities. 

Uniformity of dress is very important to us, as it levels the playing field for everyone. Attention can be focused on character and education, as it should be. We want students to be individual through their character, their opinions and their intelligence, not defined by their background or their choice in fashion.

SWI Parent Guide

Delivery to school is free and they make weekly deliveries. Orders placed by 5pm on a Thursday will be in school the following Tuesday morning.

Support

Financial support is available if needed as it’s important that we can ensure uniform is affordable for all. We have some second hand uniform and, in some cases, can donate uniform. There is also a ‘Boot Room’ at the front of school where we will loan uniform for the day, if required, to ensure all students have a successful start.

We want to remove any obstacles for students, or families, to ensure uniform can be worn with pride. Please contact the school office on col-enquiries@coleridgecc.org.uk so that we can work with you. We would be happy to help.
