Our uniform promotes a sense of pride in being part of our community and fosters a sense of belonging. We have worked hard to ensure that our uniform is practical, flexible and affordable for our families and will continue to consider matters of affordability when making changes or adjustments to our uniform requirements.
One key element of Ansford as a learning community is the way that each child is encouraged to grow and develop as an individual so that they are supported to become the best version of themselves that they can. Our uniform is designed to allow our students to express themselves as individuals while clearly signalling to the world that they are a member of our community. The Uniform Expectations, as detailed in the link below, allow students elements of flexibility and choice in a number of areas. For example, students can choose:
- whether to wear trousers, skirts or shorts;
- from a range of approved styles of skirt;
- whether to wear a jumper, cardigan or sleeveless jumper under the blazer, (and not instead of it), and from a selection of colours;
- from a selection of tie colours and patterns.
In addition, there are only a small number of items that are both branded and required enabling families to purchase a significant proportion of uniform from High Street retailers, if preferred.
More details can be found in our Uniform Policy which can be accessed via the policies tab.
