At Robert Clack School we pride ourselves in being smart, well presented and ready for learning. It is our policy that all pupils wear school uniform when attending school, travelling to and from school, or when participating in school-organised events outside of normal school hours. We ask our pupils to take pride in their personal appearance. Whenever school uniform is worn, it must be complete and not mixed with non-uniform clothing. This includes when travelling to and from school, at which times the uniform must be worn.
Children should not have decorative patterns cut into their hair or have hair coloured or dyed unnatural colours

The Role of Parents/carers.
We believe that one of the key responsibilities of parents/carers is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, and that it is clean, in good repair and that the pupil’s name is visibly labelled on all items. If a parent/carer has difficulties for any reason with fulfilling this request, they are asked to speak to a member of school staff.
