Uniform

All Dyson Perrins items are supplied through School Togs, 32 Church Street, Malvern WR14 2AZ.

Introduction

  • The school’s uniform policy is designed to encourage a purposeful and effective climate for learning. 
  • It is expected that all 11-16 students wear full school uniform at all times, unless directed otherwise by staff.
  • All students and staff should be smart and take pride in their appearance, dressed appropriately within the ethos of a formal academic working environment. 
  • All students should be aware that they represent the school, its ethos and its image, when wearing the school uniform – both in and out of school.
  • Students should arrive and leave the school wearing the uniform within the expectations outlined below.

Rationale

The Governing Body support the Department for Education’s views on the importance of school uniform:

"A uniform can instil pride; support positive behaviour and discipline; encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos; ensure pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome; protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way; and nurture cohesion between different groups of pupils. Above all, many schools believe that school uniform supports effective teaching and learning and engenders a positive, calm and respectful teaching and learning environment. "

Uniform Swap Shop - Free Preloved Items

Uniform Swap Shop- providing free preloved school uniform to our school community.

Uniform can be expensive and family circumstances can change. Sometimes keeping our children in full school uniform can be difficult, especially during these challenging times with the cost of living soaring. 

The school swap shop is an initiate, intended to help families by providing free school uniform, PE kits, coats, shoes and anything else that might be needed. Anyone is welcome to donate clean and washed preloved clothing or request anything they need. 

Please help us to help as many families in our school community to provide their children with the uniform necessary to keep them warm, safe and ready to learn.

 

Have a donation?

Clean washed uniform, coats, shoes and other school items can be donated to reception during the hours  8.30am-4pm. All donations are gratefully received. Thank you.
