The uniform and hair policy at Forres Preparatory School is designed to unite our children with a sense of pride and genuine belonging to the school community. At the same time, it reflects our belief in supporting our children in the development of their preferred gender, cultural and religious identities.
-
• Both uniform and hair guidelines are gender neutral.
• There is no summer or winter uniform. Children may wear any combination of uniform depending on the weather as long as it appears on the uniform list.
• Hairstyles should be neat and not interfere with being able to see properly, do school work or play a sport. If long, hair should be pinned back or tied back with appropriate colour hair ties/clips.
• On days that children participate in afternoon sport or PE during the morning, they may come to school already dressed in the sports uniform.
• Families may make modifications to the uniform to comply with their religious or cultural beliefs. (Clothing and jewellery). All that is required is a short letter of motivation to the Head.
• Parents will be approached if children attend school in the incorrect school uniform by the class teacher or Head of School. If there are short-term challenges in acquiring correct school uniform, a letter of explanation to the class teacher is required.
