School Uniform
Within our school we promote an atmosphere which encourages effort, enjoyment and a celebration of the achievements of all our pupils. Our concern for these high standards is also reflected in the pride we take in our school uniform and the feeling of belonging it creates.
It is our policy that all children should wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of all the items needed for the children’s school uniform, including footwear, requirements for hair and jewellery in this policy:
BBS Uniform & Jewellery Policy 2022
Our policy for uniform reflect the DfE’s recommendations and is based on the belief that school uniform:
- Promotes a sense of pride in our school and it has a positive impact on behaviour and attitudes in school;
- Develops a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
- Is practical and looks smart;
- Identifies children with our school, particularly when taking part in out of school educational activities and visits;
- is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes and hairstyles can be);
- Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
- Is regarded as suitable wear for school and is considered good value for money;
- Has been designed with health and safety in mind.
