Uniform

The purpose of uniform is to instil pride in the school community; support positive behaviour and discipline; encourage identity with, and support for the school ethos; ensure that pupils of all ethnicities and backgrounds feel welcome; protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way; nurture cohesion; promote good relations between different groups of pupils; and negate any social or economic differences between families. As a school, we have chosen a supplier for branded garments that is competitively priced.  Pre-loved uniform is available from the school's PTA by contacting pta@kelvedonhatch.essex.sch.uk.

Health and Safety

Our priority is to keep children and staff safe. It is for this reason that the following apply:

  • No jewellery is to be worn except a watch from Year 3 onwards;
  • Long hair (below shoulder-length) must be tied back at all times; mid-length hair should be held back from the face so as not to obscure children’s vision while working at desks;
  • School ties (Year 6 only) must be tucked into shirts when children are physically active during break times.

This uniform policy does not restrict pupil’s right to conform to requirements of beliefs and religions so long as this does not negatively affect the safety of the child or others.
