Burton Primary School

The purpose of the school uniform is to create a sense of community that engenders the feeling of belonging in all individuals. The uniform represents a commitment to our values which underpin the teaching and learning at Burton. Our aim is to have a learning environment that is supportive, positive, non-discriminatory, equitable and safe.

The wearing of the school uniform proudly identifies our students at all times, and can assist teachers with duty of care in the school yard and on excursions. It also avoids the issues of competition and purchasing expensive clothing, providing functional and cost-effective clothing for children.

Any changes to the school uniform will involve consultation with the wider school community. The final authority for any changes to the Burton Primary School Uniform Policy rests with the Governing Council.

Awareness of, and sensitivity to, students in financially disadvantaged situations have been taken into consideration in relation to the Burton Primary School Uniform Policy. Our uniform offers affordable clothing for all students. It is flexible, based around the school’s colours of burgundy, teal and black.
