We believe that the wearing of uniform encourages children to have a sense of belonging and of being part of a community; it is a compulsory part of being a pupil at Catmose Primary. Uniform is an outward expression of the School’s identity and promotes a feeling of pride and equality. In addition, we believe that the wearing of a uniform, as opposed to leisure wear, contributes to helping children understand that they come to School to work and learn.
Aims
- To ensure that children wear clothing to School that is safe and practical
- To promote pride in the School and a sense of identity
- To promote the idea of Catmose Primary as a learning community
- To promote the image of the School within the local area and the town
- To eliminate competition amongst children in relation to what they wear
- To ensure that the uniform is simple and reasonably priced.
