School Uniform

Rawmarsh Thorogate Uniform Policy

Aims

Through this policy we aim to ensure that within our school we wish to promote an atmosphere which encourages effort, enjoyment and a celebration of the achievements of all our pupils. The school’s concern for these high standards is also reflected in the pride we take in our school uniform and the feeling of belonging it creates.

The Governing body at Rawmarsh Thorogate School will respect variations to our school uniform if they are directly related to established religious or cultural traditions. However, any variation will be dealt with on an individual basis and judgements will remain at the discretion of the Headteacher and the Governing Body. We also believe that school uniform prevents the inevitable loss of self-esteem caused to individual children should a family not be able or willing to provide the newest, most expensive or fashionable clothing and equipment.

This uniform policy is not gender specific.

Watches & Jewellery

Pupils should not wear jewellery to school.

Should a pupil have pierced ears, only plain studs should be worn and must be removed before all PE activities.

Watches are encouraged in KS2, but it remains the pupil’s responsibility for their care.

Please note that the school will be unable to take any responsibility for any jewellery that is lost.

Make Up

No makeup or nail varnish should be worn on nails or toes.

Purchasing Uniform

All items of our school uniform can be purchased from local chain stores and supermarkets. The * items are available with the school logo, but school does not insist on this from Pinders Schoolwear.
As a school we are committed to reducing waste, to support this message of looking after our environment parents have access to pre-loved uniform that is donated, washed and available from the school office.
