When is a uniform required?

Children are required to wear the uniform to school at all times. All pupils must wear the uniform when  representing the school at events off school property such as school trips unless specifically directed  otherwise. Children are at all times ambassadors for the school, and never more so than when larger  groups are on school trips. The children should wear the uniform with pride, as it identifies them as  pupils of Appleshaw St Peter’s School. Finally, pupils should wear the PE uniform when they are  representing Appleshaw St Peter’s at inter-school sporting events.

What about jewellery and make-up?

Pupils with pierced ears may wear a single stud-earring or a pair of stud earrings to school. For safety  reasons, children must not wear rings to school. Long hair is to be tied back. Children must not wear  make-up or nail polish.

What kind of clothes are not allowed?

The shoes children wear should be sensible for both learning and play time, so strapless shoes, flip-flops  and shoes with high heels are not allowed. Light-coloured jeans are not acceptable for trousers.  Football strips are not acceptable for PE lessons.

The Role of Parents

We ask all parents who send their children to Appleshaw St Peter’s to support the school uniform  policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children correctly dressed and ready for work.  One of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair.

What if a pupil does not wear a uniform?

The Headteacher will decide what is to be done if a pupil’s appearance is judged to be inappropriate. If  any pupil arrives at school dressed inappropriately, they will either be asked to change what they are  wearing or be given a shared-use uniform to wear for the rest of day. The Headteacher is responsible  for enforcing the Appleshaw St Peter’s uniform policy and has the full support of the school’s  governors.

School Uniform Policy and the role of governors

If any parent would like the school to modify the uniform policy, they should first speak to the  headteacher. The school welcomes children from all backgrounds and faith communities. The  governing body implements the school uniform policy. It works with the Headteacher to ensure that  the policy is implemented fairly and with sensitivity. It is the responsibility of the governors to ensure  that the school uniform meets all regulations concerning equal opportunities. Governors ensure that  the school uniform policy helps children to dress sensibly, in clothing that is hard wearing, safe and  practical.
