Mrs J Gleadall

 

At Valley Park we believe that excellent uniform is part of setting high academic standards.  As a result students will need to adhere strictly to the following uniform requirements at all times.  This means that uniform must be worn correctly both in and out of school including the journey to and from school.

 

Valley Park items are available from our supplier Simmonds or from the school uniform shop.

School Bag

 

An appropriate, waterproof and sealable bag should be purchased for the protection of all school items.  Because students carry items of a reasonable weight in the bag, drawstring bags are not acceptable.  Bags should be dark in colour and logos should be discreet.  Fashion bags and handbags are not acceptable.

 

To ensure that the correct uniform is purchased we recommend that the school supplier Simmonds or the school uniform  shop is used for clothing and the Golden Boot shoe shop for footwear.  Leaflets outlining the style of shoes acceptable are available either on the school website (www.valleypark.kent.sch.uk/policies/shoelist.pdf) or from the Golden Boot.

 

In cases of any dispute regarding the suitability of uniform the Headteacher’s decision is final.
