School Uniform
At Swarcliffe Primary School, we have high expectations for all our children in everything they do. We believe that a school uniform fosters a sense of identity, belonging and pride and sets an expectation for all to do their best. We are very proud of our uniform and we ask all children to wear our colours. When children take pride in their appearance, we believe it enhances the school experience. We try to encourage our children to take responsibility for their own appearance, to look clean, smart and tidy at all times.
Please support school and ensure your child/children come to school dressed in the correct uniform every day. Parents/carers of children not wearing school uniform will be contacted by staff to bring in suitable clothing. Spare clothing is kept in school for children who are not wearing uniform.
PLEASE ENSURE ALL SCHOOL UNIFORM IS CLEARLY LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME.
