At St Peter’s, we believe that wearing our uniform with pride helps every child feel a true sense of belonging to our school family. We see our uniform policy as a shared partnership between home and school:

• At Home: We truly appreciate your support in helping your children arrive each morning dressed ready for their day of learning.
• In School: Our staff love seeing the children looking so smart! We’ll always offer plenty of encouragement to keep them looking their best and will reach out to you directly if we ever have any concerns.
• For the Children: We empower our pupils to take responsibility for their own appearance, helping them learn the value of looking smart and feeling part of the team.
• Behind the Scenes: Our Governors and Headteacher work closely together to ensure our uniform remains inclusive, fair, and meets all equal opportunity regulations for every single family.

Our full Uniform Policy can be found here.
