Uniform Policy

September 2020

 

Learning Together To Achieve Forever

 

 

Introduction

 

“School uniforms help to define the ethos of a school and the standards expected. They help give pupils pride in their school, and make them ambassadors for their school in the community” (DfES 5 Year Strategy for Children and Learners, 2006).

 

Why do we need a uniform?

 

A school uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.

 

We believe a uniform is important for the following reasons:

 

  • It can instill pride
  • It can support positive behaviour and discipline
  • Pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome
  • Uniform can nurture cohesion and promote good relations between different groups of pupils
  • It can encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos
  • Children are protected from social pressures to dress in a particular way
  • Above all, many schools believe that school uniform supports effective teaching and learning.

 

What will it look like?

 

  • School will authorise a local business to sell a selection of quality school clothing items with the school logo at reasonable prices, currently Baker & Sons in Wellington. (See Appendix 1)
  • Children will also be able to wear plain (no school badge) providing it is the appropriate colours.
  • Children in Years 5 and 6 will be expected to wear a shirt and tie with a Blazer optional. The school Tie will be an optional item for younger pupils. 
  • The only jewellery allowed is a single ear stud in each ear. They must be removed for all PE lessons.
  • The wearing of temporary tattoos will not be permitted, with the exception of Mehndi for special occasions.
  • Hair should be neat and tidy with no extremes of style or colour. Long hair should be tied back during PE lessons for health and safety. 
  • Make up and cosmetics are not considered appropriate or consistent with our school uniform. The school does not permit such products to be worn by any children, unless there is a specific event for which the Headteacher has given permission.
  • The school wants all children to grow into healthy adults. We believe that it is dangerous for children to wear shoes that have platform soles or high heels, so we do not allow children to wear such shoes in our school. Neither do we allow children to wear trainers to school; this is because we think that this footwear is appropriate for sport or for leisurewear, but is not in keeping with the smart appearance of a school uniform.

 

Who will monitor it?

 

  • All Staff will monitor the correct wearing of school uniform.
  • Children will be expected to wear the correct school uniform.
  • Parents are responsible to inform the school, either in writing or verbally if for any reason a child is unable to wear the correct uniform.
  • The Governing body should be receptive to any reasonable complaint from parents/carers concerning uniform, handling it respectfully and should aim to arrive at a mutually agreeable outcome.
  • The school will follow the DfE guidelines and not consider exclusion from the school where a pupil fails to comply with the school’s rules on uniform.
  • Children who repeatedly fail to wear the correct uniform:
    • Member of staff will speak to the parents to discuss possible reasons why uniform is not being worn.
    • Child may lose Dojo Points.
    • Repeated loss of Dojo Points may mean further meetings with parents.

Most major museums have educational sections on their websites, and this one is definitely one of the most interactive ones out there. There are games and fact files linked with current exhibitions, which makes the information relevant and up-to-date. From exploring nature to getting up close and personal with creatures long extinct but still larger than life, there is so much for children and families to explore on the National History Museum website.

The amount of educational resources on Brain Pop is very impressive, with topics covering everything from English and social studies to health and art. There are loads of games and activities that are all guaranteed to help children learn at the same time as having fun.

Pupil Premium Strategy 2023 - 2024

Sports Premium 2022-2023

Our School Council is a committed group that has been elected by their peers.  They act as representatives and a voice for their classmates in bringing forward and discussing school issues as well as raising money for both our school and selected charities.  The council meet regularly with Mrs Kubiak and discuss issues such as:

  • School lunches
  • Improving the toilet facilities
  • Collecting for the community fridge
  • Ways to improve attendance

Our School Council are passionate about supporting our school and the wider community and we are very proud of them.

Wrekin View’s Eco- Warrior community are a group of enthusiastic children who are wanting to make a change to our school environment. During their weekly Tuesday meetings, the children work alongside Miss Atkins to come up with different ideas on how we can improve our school environment focusing on areas such as: Marine, Healthy Eating, Litter, Energy and Biodiversity.

As part of their responsibilities, the Eco-Warriors:
- Evaluate our currently school environment based on the focus areas
- Implement strategies across the whole school to make our school environment a better place.
- Provide support to the community through litter picks and advice.

We are proud of our Eco – Warriors and appreciate the hard work and determination they have shown towards our school environment to ensure that we are happy, successful, and curious learners.

Our Sports Leaders are a group of individuals who have a keen interest in PE and school sports. They are passionate about improving the sporting experience of every child in the school. Each class in KS2 has 1 representative whereby it is their job to feedback any information from our meetings to the rest of their class.

Some of their main roles are:

  • Identifying children who would like to take part in sport outside of school and directing them to either Mrs Price or Mr Mullinder
  • Relaying results from sporting fixtures and tournaments in assemblies
  • Suggesting tournaments, we as a school would like to take part in
  • Promoting PE and School Sport within school
  • Helping during events and Sports Days

Our Sports Leaders are dedicated to their role, and we are proud of all the work they put into improving PE and School Sport within our school.

Our Wellbeing Ambassadors are e devoted team of children who look after the mental wellbeing of the children at school. They meet with Miss Nickless and Mr Kilburn to discuss ways in which they can support the children emotionally. We recognise the importance of the children’s emotional wellbeing and how the Wellbeing Ambassadors can support this.

The responsibilities of the Wellbeing Ambassadors are:

  • To attend meetings with Miss Nickless to discuss what is working and to suggest improvements.
  • To attend training sessions so they can provide the correct level of support.
  • To ensure they are available for their duty during lunchtime.
  • To listen to children who need to talk, to offer help and advice where appropriate.
  • To know when to get adult help and to support children to access it.

We are proud of the work our Wellbeing Ambassadors do and appreciate how it help the children to be happy, curious and successful communicators.
