APSOL Uniform
Our school uniform is important to us. Apsol’s uniform policy reflects our values and reinforces our school’s culture of high expectations, pride in our appearance, and academic and character development.
All pupils must dress according to APSoL’s uniform policy.
School items can be purchased directly at school. Parents / Carers need to use our online payment portal: My child at school (MCAS) to select and pay for items.
The uniform for our school will be high quality, smart and durable, and will offer good value for money.
Once uniform is purchased online, it can be collected from the school office once a notification email is received.

Principles
Our policy is that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos and be proud to represent the school.
We also believe that certain school activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing (including organised events outside normal school hours).
Aims
Our policy is based on the belief that a school uniform:
• Promotes a sense of pride in the school
• Engenders a feeling of belonging
• Is practical and distinctive
• Identifies the children with the school
• Makes children feel equal to one another in terms of appearance
• Reflects the sense both of community and of diversity that the school takes pride in
Racial Equality & Equal Opportunities
All children have equal access to wearing school uniform regardless of their culture, race, religion, gender, disability or ability. We ensure that the set uniform respects other policies such as race relations, sex discrimination and allows for individual sets of circumstances of all groups and individuals.
APSoL is committed to creating a positive environment that will enable everyone to work free from racial intimidation and harassment and to achieve their full potential.
Making uniform accessible for all
APSoL offers a uniform grant to some pupils. The eligible criteria for a uniform grant is similar to qualifying for free school meals (FSM). Please contact the school office if you believe your child is entitled to a uniform grant.
