Andreas Uniform Policy
At Andreas school we believe that a uniform can:
- instil pride in the school, encourage pupils to identify with it and to support its ethos
- promote positive behaviour and discipline
- help to protect pupils from peer group pressure to dress in a certain fashion
- help to promote cohesion between groups from different backgrounds
As such we:
- would like all children to wear the school uniform including dark, comfortable shoes.
- would like the school PE kit to be worn for PE, however, appropriate PE clothing must be worn in all PE lessons including swimming.
- would like all items of uniform to be clearly labelled with your child's name.
For your information:
- All items of branded school uniform are available from Promenade Shirts and Embroidery Ltd, Queen’s Promenade, in Douglas.
- Second hand uniform is displayed the last week of each term for you to purchase items. We welcome donations of uniform no longer required. Profits go to school funds.
- If you have any questions or issues with uniform, please discuss them with the Headteacher.
