Uniform
School Uniform
Within our school we promote an atmosphere which encourages effort, enjoyment and a celebration of the achievements of all our pupils. Our concern for these high standards is also reflected in the pride we take in our school uniform and the feeling of belonging it creates. It is our school policy to strongly encourage all children to wear school uniform when attending school.
The uniform is part of our school ethos and in coming to Summerlea Community Primary School, parents/carers agree to support our policy.
Please refer to our school uniform policy document below for full details.
