# School Uniform

### About School Uniform

Anchorsholme Academy believes that a consistent school uniform is vital to promote the ethos of the school and provide a sense of belonging and identity for all pupils, regardless of their protected characteristics or socio-economic circumstances.

We believe that pupils learn most effectively and achieve their best outcomes when they are comfortable, able to be themselves, and dressed in such a way that sets an appropriate tone for education.

The school has a good stock of pre-loved uniforms which are available on request. Parents should call the school office to let them know what item of uniform is required plus a size or approximate age and we will help where we can. A voluntary donation of £1 per item is suggested, but this is not essential. The school supports vulnerable families whenever possible. Parents are encouraged to donate good-quality uniform that is no longer needed by dropping it off at the school office.

Further information can be found below.
