Appearance of Children/Uniform

Appearance of Children/Uniform

Rationale: Children at St Andrew’s Prep are expected to be neat and tidy at all times. They should take pride in their appearance and want to look smart- Look Smart-Work Smart. The Headmaster is the sole arbiter and judge of what ‘neat and tidy’ means in terms of children’s appearance.

Aims • To instil pride • To promote a strong, cohesive school identity that supports high standards and equality among

children • To support effective teaching and learning • To promote the health, safety and well being of pupils • To support positive behaviour, attitudes and discipline • To ensure inclusion of all pupils regardless of gender, race or religion • To protect pupils from social pressure and harassment • To discourage dress and appearance that encourages anti-social behaviour

General guidelines • Hair o Hairstyles should be neat and sensible o Hair that impedes vision should be clipped or tied back o Hair should not be dyed

• Clothes o Shirts should be tucked in, with top button done up o Ties should not be of an extreme length and the knot should cover the top shirt button o Trousers should be worn in a way that covers underpants o Blazers should be worn to /from school as well as around school such as between lessons.

They should always be worn for Chapel, Assembly etc o Tights should not be worn with summer dresses o Skirts and dresses should be of an appropriate length o Fleeces should not be worn in the classroom o Pupils may wear grey shorts or trousers, with a white shirt, tie and a blazer o They may choose to wear the winter skirt or summer dress at specified times during the year o Children are to wear clean black shoes with their uniform and not trainers. If shoes are lost,

broken, etc they should wear simple black plimsolls available from Matron o Shoelaces should be tied

• Jewellery o Pupils may wear one plain stud earring in each ear, but they must either be taped up or removed

for Games and PE lessons, for safety reasons. o If a pupil wishes to wear a watch, it must be sensibly named o No child is to wear a ring o A single wrist band may be worn o A chain, with a religious pendant may also be worn
