School Uniform
At Castleway, uniform is compulsory. Wearing a uniform sets a boundary by placing children in a 'working environment' mindset and helps them separate their home and school life. School uniform places all children on a level playing field, reducing the pressure to wear the latest fashionable brands and therefore removing additional pressure on families. There is no expectation that families buy branded uniform items, generic more affordable items are absolutely acceptable. We do not partner with a specific retailer and would encourage families to purchase our uniform from any affordable retailer, including from second-hand retailers. Our agreed uniform, for both Nursery & Primary, is detailed below. Families are reminded to contact school if they are having any issues sourcing uniform items.
