Top 10 reasons to feel good about school uniform:
- Equality
Uniform is a great leveller, it makes everyone equal. - Ease
Mornings become easier. It removes the "what to wear" dilemma! - Belonging
Uniform gives children a common identity and a sense of belonging. - Practical
It's designed to withstand wear and tear better than expensive high street fashion items. - Better behaviour
Children behave better when they wear their uniform; it comes with a set of expectations as to what is and isn't acceptable and children behave accordingly. - Rules
Children learn the importance of rules even if they don't like them, a valuable lesson for life. - Confidence
Children walk taller in uniform. They feel important and proud. - Work
Children have a much better attitude to work when they are wearing a uniform. - Identification
Uniform gives the school a profile in the community and means children are easily identifiable on school trips.
