Uniform
SCHOOL UNIFORM
At Waseley Hills we believe that the school uniform helps to instil a sense of belonging to the school. We expect all parents to support our view that school uniforms help to create an orderly atmosphere conducive to work and a positive image in the community.

We believe that school uniform is important as it central to ensuring the students are dressed for success and ready to learn without distraction. Aswell as this it allows for a sense of belonging to the school to be visually promoted. We expect all our parents and carers, along with the students to support our mindset that appropriate school uniform allows for a positive learning environment and ensuresthe image within the wider community is respected and reflects the ethos of the school and what we are trying to achieve. Failure to adhere to our School Uniform Policy will result in sanctions in line with the school’s Behaviour Policy. The school holds a stock of uniform and shoes as well as PE kit and pumps; if students attend school dressed inappropriately or in incorrect PE kit, they will be expected to borrow items and change, the school’s decision is final.
