Uniform
All children are expected to attend school is an ‘always active uniform’. There are many benefits to an active uniform, including the following:
Health and Physical Activity
- Encourages movement: Items like tracksuits, leggings, and trainers make it easier for children to run, climb, and play freely during breaks.
- Combats inactivity: Research shows that flexible clothing helps increase daily physical activity levels and participation in sports.
- Inclusivity for girls: Traditional skirts and dresses often discourage girls from joining in active games and using playground equipment fully.
Learning and Inclusion
- Better focus: Comfortable students are more engaged in class and less distracted by stiff or hot clothing.
- Sensory friendly: Soft, stretchy fabrics are much better for children with sensory needs who find rigid collars, ties, and trousers distressing.
- Flexible teaching: Teachers can seamlessly transition from desk learning to active indoor or outdoor lessons without clothing restrictions.
Practicality and Cost
- Saves money: Parents do not need to buy separate expensive office-style uniforms and PE kits.
- Easy maintenance: Activewear is typically machine-washable, quick-drying, and requires no ironing.
