Uniform
SMSG School Uniform Policy
Our policy on uniform is based on the principles that a school uniform:
• Promotes a sense of pride in the school, in line with our ethos, values and beliefs.
• Creates a sense of ‘community’ and ‘belonging’ to the school.
• Supports positive behaviour and discipline.
• Is practical, comfortable and smart.
• Identifies pupils with the school and encourages identification with the school.
• Prevents pupils from coming to school in fashion or ‘designer’ label clothes that could be distracting in class or create a sense of competition.
• Makes pupils feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance and helps nurture cohesion
between different groups of pupils.
• Is regarded as suitable for school and good value for money by most parents.
• Promotes the school’s care for the health and safety of its learners.
Expectations
We expect all parents and pupils to comply with this uniform policy, which will be monitored. Any pupil who falls short of these requirements will be advised of this fact by their class teacher and given the opportunity to improve. Continued failure to comply will be brought to the attention of the Senior Leadership Team. Repeated failure to comply will be referred to parents and they will be invited to discuss non-compliance.
We ask all parents/carers who
send their children to SMSG School to support our uniform policy. We believe that
parents/carers have a duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and ready for their daily schoolwork. One of the responsibilities of parents/carers is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and that it is clean and in good condition.
