Pupil Dress Code (Uniform)

At Spring Meadow Primary School we take an ‘Active Wear’ approach to our school uniform expectations.

Our aims

• our children are comfortable and ready to learn
• our children are dressed appropriately for the activities they will be undertaking each day
• our children feel included and part of our school community
• we do not discriminate on grounds of sex, gender, religion or any other protected characteristic
• children are able to express their individuality within the guidelines that we set
• we do not place an unacceptable financial burden on our parents

Branded items can be bought from the online uniform shop ‘Anglia Sports and Schoolwear’:

whilst other items are easily available at local shops and supermarkets. We also have a uniform exchange system set up and based on our school site, which is run by our PTA.

This policy does not currently apply to children attending our Nursery.

We expect all children to adhere to our guidelines as set out within this policy. However, we do not believe that incorrect clothing should be a reason for non-attendance and therefore it is not our policy to send children home for infringements of this Code. If a pupil attends school dressed inappropriately (as defined by these guidelines), parents will be contacted to remind them of the expectations and / or asked to bring more suitable clothing up to school.

Children wearing jewellery or over-sized hair ornaments that may present a health and safety risk will be asked to remove them and take them home at the end of the day.
