UNIFORM POLICY
We encourage all children to wear our uniform. This fosters a feeling of belonging to our school community and helps children feel equal to each other. We do ask that uniform is named as this will aid items to be returned to their owners.
School cannot be held responsible for loss of clothing, shoes or other personal items.
Uniformwise, Urban Uniform and MyUniform can supply all of your child’s uniform needs, including good quality cardigans and jumpers as well as polo and PE shirts with the school logo on. School ties are available from Uniformwise.
Uniformwise can be contacted via their website www.uniformwise.co.uk or by phone on 01375 644744.
You can shop online at MyClothing using this link. Make sure that when checking for Giffards you enter the Local Authority as Thurrock and not Essex.
