Uniform

Hopescourt School's uniform has been considered by the Local Governing Committee and is in line with statutory and non-statutory guidance, and with the following key principles:

- Any supplier of school uniform should be willing to work in partnership with the school to facilitate access for our pupils and deliver value for money on high quality and durable products.

- The experience of obtaining school uniform for pupils should be flexible, giving the option to visit a supplier to try items on or alternatively order items online depending on individual preference.

- Mandatory branded items should be kept to a minimum, while still enabling pupils to benefit from a sense of belonging within the school community.

- Non-branded items should be readily available from a range of suppliers, including supermarkets and high street stores, as well as online.

- The majority of the uniform will remain consistent across the primary and secondary phases to support parents in prolonging the life of branded items.
