Uniform
It is part of our policy, in working with parents, that all children follow the school dress code when attending school, representing the school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours.
St Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School uniform is the hallmark of our school, and is frequently praised by visitors. We thank parents for their proactive support of this policy which has been agreed with parents, and is renewed regularly as part of our Home School Agreement.
Considerations underpinning the wearing of school uniform in St Vincent de Paul Catholic
Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
- promotes a sense of pride in the school;
- engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
- is practical and smart;
- encourages identity with and underpins the ethos of the school
- supports positive behaviour and discipline
- makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
- is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents;
- is designed with health and safety in mind
