This policy is intended to be read by parents of children at The Orchards Primary Academy. Uniform is compulsory at The Orchards Primary Academy and we are proud of our uniform. We believe that wearing uniform promotes a sense of belonging and unity. Wearing the uniform helps to maintain our calm school approach, whilst reinforcing our school value of Responsibility.
Uniform for the new academic year September 2025 – changes to uniform guidance
We have high standards of uniform here at The Orchards and we expect children to be in the correct uniform every day. Uniform gives children a sense of pride and belonging and also provides them with the standards needed for life beyond primary education. No variations to the list below are expected. Teaching staff and leaders do ‘check and challenge’ uniform to ensure that standards maintain. We do have an excellent ‘school early help’ offer where we can support with uniform so please let us know if you require any support. We also have a uniform bank.
