# School Uniform

#### **School Uniform**

There is a simple uniform that helps develop a sense of community. Parents are asked to co-operate in sending their children to school smartly dressed, with a tidy modest hairstyle.

Saint Wilfrid's will accepted generic items and branded items are not required. Parents can purchase uniform from any retailer or can contact the school office to enquire about our 'Uniform Swap Shop'.

 Hairstyles

 A hairstyle is considered ‘modest’ and appropriate if it does not attract unusual attention or comment. Parents should ensure therefore, that ‘shavings’, colouring, ‘tracks’, gelling, and unusual hairstyles, etc. should be planned for holiday periods and not term time. Children and parents can expect immodest hairstyles to be challenged.

Shoulder length or long hair should always be tied up.

In all matters related to dress code, including hairstyles the decision of the Headteacher is final and non-negotiable.
