- Setting an appropriate tone for learning
- Promote the ethos of our school – 'Learning together, aiming for excellence'

Jewellery
In line with Dudley Local Authority’s Health and Safety Policy, we do not allow children to wear jewellery in school (except for a pair of small ear studs and watches).
No body piercings are allowed.
All studs and jewellery must be removed on PE days either before they come to school or by the child themselves – staff cannot remove jewellery.
Labels
All clothing should be clearly labelled with your child’s name. This is very important as uniform items look similar and can easily be confused with another child’s clothing. The school cannot accept responsibility for any lost items.
Notes
Hair styles must be appropriate to learning in the primary school classroom. Extreme haircuts/styles and colours are not allowed this includes: lines shaved into the hair, bleached hair and mohicans. Long hair should be tied back particularly for PE lessons.
Nail polish and make-up or temporary tattoos are also not allowed.
Stockists
Generic school clothing can be purchased from any good retailer. Clothing with the school logo is available from ‘Totally Uniform’.
Please note that we also have uniform swap-shop/second-hand uniform sales events each term. Details are sent closer to the time.
Children are permitted to wear their own clothes on their birthday or the school day nearest to their birthday if it falls on a weekend or holiday.
