Clevedon School

Uniform

It is Clevedon School policy that all students wear school uniform when attending school.

School uniform:

  • Engenders a sense of community and identity both in and out of school
  • Maintains a purposeful ethos
  • Encourages good self-discipline
  • Promotes equality in terms of appearance
  • Relieves social and financial pressure
