At Lacon Childe School we believe that school uniform promotes a strong attitude to learning and enhances a sense of identity and community ethos. Uniform also helps members of the wider community form a positive impression of our school and the students who attend.
We would like to take this opportunity to share with you our updated uniform policy. The policy has been updated to meet the national uniform requirements, making purchasing items simpler and more affordable, while still ensuring that students remain smart and uniform standards remain high.
Please note that there have been some changes regarding school skirts, the only skirt that we will allow will be a black knee length pleated skirt.
Students who are not in correct uniform will need to be out of circulation at social time until uniform can be corrected and in line with our policy. We appreciate your support in ensuring that students have the correct uniform to wear to avoid this situation.
Please see below link to our guide to the Lacon Childe School uniform policy which will help you when purchasing your new uniform.
