Silverstone CE Primary School Aims and objectives As a school, we have very clear principles about how our school uniform can reflect our aspirations and exceptional standards. Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform: Sets a tone for the high expectations of our school Creates uniformity and equality with all children Fosters a feeling of identity and belonging to the school Promotes pride amongst our children and a sense of feeling smart The role of Governors The local governing body supports the Headteacher in implementing the school uniform policy. It considers all representations from parents regarding this policy, and liaises with the Headteacher to ensure that the policy is implemented fairly and with sensitivity. Governors ensure that the school uniform policy helps children to dress sensibly, in clothing that is hardwearing, safe and practical. The role of Parents We expect all parents to support the school uniform policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and well-presented including a suitable hair style; ready for their daily schoolwork. Parents should ensure that their child has the correct uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair. Parents are also responsible for ensuring their children come to school in a coat suitable for the forecast weather conditions each day. During break times and lunch children will still be going outside even in cold windy conditions and light rain. General Guidelines Extreme haircuts are not permitted in school ( extreme being any haircut that is considered by the school to be significantly different so as to cause distraction to others, and therefore their learning; 1 P a g e
and therefore not in keeping with the school s ethos. Examples of haircuts not permitted include: tram lines or equivalent, shaved sides with longer hair across the centre, use of hair products such as gel. This list is not exhaustive). When joining the school, parents/carers are expected to fully support this policy at all times. Long hair should be tied back at all times and short hair in a suitable style for school.
