St Margaret’s School Dress Code
A common uniform helps to develop a strong sense of community,
A common uniform frees parents from the pressure of complying with demands for clothes in the latest designer fashions. These are often expensive as well as inappropriate for school use.
A common uniform looks smart and encourages loyalty and self-discipline.
A common uniform instils into your child a way of thinking which influences their work and behaviour in school.
The school uniform is a modern one, and has been made as attractive as possible.
