Secondary Uniform
Rationale for School Uniform
Safety
If all students wear a clearly recognisable uniform, it is easy to identify strangers. On the way to and from school it also affords a degree of safety as the students are part of a large body of young people who will look out for each other.
Ready to Work
Putting on uniform is a signal you are going to work hard and learn.
Raising Aspirations
Students have told us that if they look smart they will have more self-belief and achieve more.
A Sense of Pride
Uniform and team kits help our students to demonstrate pride in their school.
Preparation for the Future
Many jobs require staff to wear a uniform or there is often a dress code. Uniform helps young people get used to dressing to a prescribed standard and know the difference between formal and informal dress.
Relieves Students from Fashion Stress
Uniform eliminates the stress placed on students to purchase and wear expensive, fashionable items.
Value for Money
Uniform is a relatively inexpensive way of dressing young people for school.
