Why should we have a uniform?

Our school supports a policy of children wearing school uniform. For this policy to succeed we must have the support of all parents. The main reasons for a uniform are:

• It encourages pride in the school
• It helps children feel part of the school
• It prevents unsuitable clothes being worn

Bandon Hill School Uniform Statement

Bandon Hill school requires pupils to wear school uniform. We believe that a school uniform provides a sense of belonging and identity whilst setting an appropriate tone for an education setting. 

Details of our school uniform requirements can be found above.

In developing our school uniform we have carefully considered what is required practically for classroom lessons or for sport, safeguarding and health and safety considerations, and our obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and we have taken account of the wishes of parents and pupils.

We have also considered the cost implications for families and different groups of pupils and sought best value – we have minimised the number of branded items and avoided single supplier contracts so that parents have a choice of where they can shop, and we will avoid frequent uniform changes so that clothes can be passed on. We also offer school swap shop/second-hand uniform/anything else to ensure that families have low-cost options.  

If you have any questions about our uniform, or are struggling through financial hardship, please contact us on 0208 6475377 and we can support you.
