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.
