(press enter) Birch Wood School Where a Love of Learning Grows Uniform The purpose of our school uniform is to enhance our feeling of community and pride in our school. The school student council thought it was important to have a school uniform that students could wear and feel a sense of belonging, yet they were also keen to respect students for whom uniform would not be appropriate. As such there is a school uniform which where possible we would like our students to wear and we very much appreciate parents’ co-operation in this. However we are clear that the uniform is not compulsory and we encourage parents to make reasonable adjustments for those students who have particular needs ensuring their clothing enables them to be comfortable and as independent as possible. We fully appreciate that for some students uniform is not appropriate and respect your decision as parents and carers to adjust this accordingly.
