Why wear uniform?

At Barton Hill Academy we believe that the wearing of a school uniform is an important part of school life, for the following reasons:

  • It shows that the children are all part of the same team;
  • It encourages pride in the school;
  • It prevents discrimination and ostentatious affluence;
  • It reduces arguments at home about what to wear each day;
  • It makes recognition of pupils in public places much easier therefore making the pupils safe

 Aims

  • All children wear the correct uniform to school
  • Children feel proud to belong to our school community
  • School, Children and Parents/carers all share the same high expectations of the school uniform guidelines

It is expected that children wear the school uniform each day, with the appropriate footwear. 

Second-hand items are available via the school office at prices to be agreed and are washed and put on sale.

If lost property is not claimed by the end of each term it will be recycled.

If a child does not wear the correct uniform, a verbal or written reminder of our expectations will be communicated to the parents/carers

If a child arrives at school wearing inappropriate clothing which causes concern (e.g. unsuitable for the weather, too revealing, offensive/unsuitable slogans, etc) then the school will provide uniform for the child to wear for the day or parents/carers will be contacted to bring in suitable uniform.

Parents/carers are asked to clearly label every item of school clothing with their child’s name. The children are responsible for taking care of their own items of uniform and having clearly named uniform enables everyone to correctly return any lost or misplaced items.

If there is any reason why a child cannot wear our uniform or requires special dispensation (eg health or religious grounds) then the governors will consider sympathetically any such request from a parent/carer.
