School Uniform

It is our policy that all children should wear school uniform when attending school. We believe that school uniform is important for several reasons:
• It promotes a sense of pride in the school
• It engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school
• It is practical and smart
• It makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• It is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents
• It is designed with health and safety in mind
 
This policy was written in consultation with parents, children, staff and governors.

How we ensure our uniform is accessible to all

It is our priority to ensure that uniform is of low cost and that parents are able to access second hand uniform. 

• Parents may opt for their children to wear plain or logo/branded uniform. Plain uniform is available from all supermarkets and other suppliers at a low cost.
• Logo/branded uniform can be purchased from one of our two suppliers, at a low cost.
• Our Friends of Hill Top PFA run a second hand uniform sale on their Facebook page during the summer term. Many of these items are free of charge.
• The school holds stock of second hand and new uniform in all sizes. Parents should speak to the office or their child's class teacher at any time. 
• Pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium funding are offered support with uniform costs. Parents should speak to the office or their child's class teacher at any time.
