School Dress Code

All schools are now obliged to have a school dress code. It contributes to a positive school ethos which avoids discrimination and reduces the cachet of wearing expensive designer clothing. A school's reputation can also be enhanced in the local community by the wearing of school uniform. School security will be improved as it will be easier to identify intruders.
