Dear Parents and Carers
I am very sorry to have to send out this letter but feel that there are far too many children, particularly in upper KS2, wearing unsuitable footwear for school. We are not being pedantic about this issue, when your children wear fashion items for school their behaviour and readiness for learning is hugely affected in a negative manner. We know this through years of experience and good educational research carried out across the country.
When we have spoken to individuals we have had poor excuses made to us like ‘other children wear them’, or ‘they don’t want to wear black shoes’. This really is not helpful or good enough. If your children do not wear school uniform, they are breaking the rules agreed in school and this will not be permitted.
Please can you make sure that your child(ren) come to school in the agreed school uniform, listed below, every day so that we can concentrate on the important job of preparing them for their futures.
Please accept my apologies if you always work hard to follow our dress code. Thank you for your fantastic support in this matter.
Thank you for your continued support!
