School Uniform

HAVANNAH PRIMARY SCHOOLUNIFORM POLICY

At Havannah we take pride in our appearance and believe that if we dress smartly we also learn smartly. Our comfortable yet smart uniform also provides children with a sense of belonging to Havannah Primary School.

We are careful to monitor the cost of uniforms for our families and follow the Government guidance on cost of school uniform. Havannah Primary School offers the choice of branded or non-branded items to our families as well as having the provision of pre-loved (second hand) uniform items available to families at low cost with proceeds going to the school's PTA fund that provides monies for school projects and initiatives.

·         School uniform helps young people to accept that there are appropriate standards of appearance for certain circumstances. We want our young people to look smart as an outward indication of a positive attitude generally.

·         School uniform helps students to leave outside influences behind, focus on school work and concentrate on learning.
