At Hillsborough Primary School we believe that a school uniform fosters a sense of identity, belonging and pride. At Hillsborough Primary School our uniform sets a high standard of appearance for all, whilst clothing pupils in practical, cost-effective school wear.

At Hillsborough Primary School we believe that a school uniform ensures that:

  • Everybody is practical and looks smart.
  • Children feel equal to others in terms of appearance.
  • There is no distraction in class and it is regarded suitable clothing for school.
  • Children can be identified when taking part in out of school educational activities and visits.

  • If children come to school wearing earrings on P.E days they will have to take the earrings out themselves or cover them over with a plaster or Micropore tape which they have brought from home. If they come to school wearing them on swimming days, unless they can take them out the leisure centre will not allow them to participate in the lesson.
