Belmont Primary School Uniform Policy
The Belmont Governing Body requires that children at the school wear our distinctive school uniform.
The purpose of the uniform is to:
- ensure the children wear practical and appropriate clothes for the range of activities they need to take part in at school
- proivde uniformity for all the children
- give the children a sense of belonging to our community
We rely on parents/guardians to co-operate with governors and staff by following the uniform policy and sending their children to school wearing appropriate clothing
We also encourage parents/guardians to contact the school if they are having difficulty abiding by the policy for any reason
