School Uniform

The Governors of the school believe that a school uniform is an important contributor to the overall success of the school and therefore expect that the school uniform will be worn by all children including those in the Nursery.

Why having a school uniform is important to Porthleven School:

The governing body believes that a school uniform is important in building the pupils’ sense of identity and belonging to the community of the school. It instils a sense of pride in the school and supports positive behaviour. It is one of the symbols of the ethos of the school and protects children from social pressures whatever their race, religion, gender or background.

There are other advantages to having a school uniform which are important to the governing body such as security. A uniform enables pupils to be identified easily and means that any intruders can be identified swiftly.

What the uniform consists of:

School shoes:  Black low heeled / Plain black running trainers (No skate shoes)

School jumper: Blue fleece, sweatshirt or cardigan

Trousers: Black/ grey tailored trousers

Shirt: Pale blue polo shirt
