We would like children to come to school prepared to learn and ready to work and in generating this effective learning environment we would like children to look smart and have a sense of belonging to our school community. We have a school uniform, which parents find smart, affordable and convenient. We pride ourselves on the appearance of our school and this includes school uniform. There is plenty of choice within our uniform code for children to celebrate their individuality. It is very practical and serves the important purpose of fostering a sense of belonging to Bentham Community Primary School. We would like children to feel proud to be part of our community and just as they have appropriate clothing for other organisations they may belong to e.g. Brownies, Dance club or football teams, they have clothing that is appropriate for school.
