Uniform

PUPILS' UNIFORM AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE
We believe that the smart appearance of our pupils is an important part of their schooling. We expect pupils not only to adhere to the full and official school uniform, but also to wear it with pride. We ask that parents do not allow their children to react to the latest fashion in their school clothing and in their overall appearance.

UNIFORM -YEARS SEVEN TO ELEVEN - BOYS AND GIRLS
The list of uniform and P.E. kit requirements outlines what IS acceptable. This is the case throughout the pupils' careers at Barking Abbey. If you have any doubts about the suitability of items you intend buying as school uniform, please check with your child's Year Co-ordinator BEFORE purchasing. If pupils are noted as not wearing acceptable school clothing, then the school will inform parents accordingly. We request parents' support in this area.
