School Uniform

At Downsview Community Primary School we expect children to come to school wearing full school uniform and to take a pride in their appearance. School uniform contributes to the feeling of belonging to our school. The list below covers uniform requirements.

  • Grey or black trousers / grey skirt

Top 10 reasons to feel good about school uniform:

Equality - Uniform is a great leveller, it makes everyone equal.

Ease - Mornings become easier. It removes the "what to wear" dilemma!

Belonging - Uniform gives children a common identity and a sense of belonging.

Practical - It's designed to withstand wear and tear better than expensive high street fashion items.

Better behaviour - Children behave better when they wear their uniform; it comes with a set of expectations as to what is and isn't acceptable and children behave accordingly.

Rules - Children learn the importance of rules even if they don't like them, a valuable lesson for life.

Confidence - Children walk taller in uniform. They feel important and proud.

Work - Children have a much better attitude to work when they are wearing a uniform.

Identification - Uniform gives the school a profile in the community and means children are easily identifiable on school trips.
