UNIFORM /CLOTHING POLICY

Moor End has a uniform, which it expects all pupils to wear. In the children it encourages a sense of belonging and pride and for parents it is easier to care for, organise and is cheaper to buy than other clothes for school. Please make sure that all your child’s items are named – thank you.

THE UNIFORM

• Grey or black, skirt or pinafore or trousers/shorts in summer
• White blouse, shirt or polo shirt.
• Red sweatshirt (School sweatshirts with logo are available only from the main office in school), sweater, jumper or cardigan.
