School Uniform Policy
Purposes:
• Pupils feel they belong to the school and feel more commitment to the school.
• The school develops a more positive image in the local community.
• Pupils then have their self esteem raised.
• When all pupils wear the same dress, differences between pupils are reduced and this also reduces isolation
and bullying.
