Our School Day

Dress Code

At Safe Start School, students do not wear a uniform. We encourage students to express their individuality through their clothing choices, while adhering to our dress code. This helps maintain a respectful and focused learning environment. Please ensure your attire is appropriate and aligns with our guidelines. We appreciate your cooperation in fostering a positive school atmosphere.

​

• Practical and appropriate for the school environment, all weathers and activities 

• Comfortable and fitting to allow for normal activities and comfortable movement.

​

What to Avoid:

​

• Revealing Clothing: No crop tops, tops that expose the midriff, underwear, or bottom, off-the-shoulder tops, strapless or backless tops

• Lycra shorts or tight fitting all in one suits

• Caps or hats worn indoors, or any item which obscures the face unless worn for religious purposes

• Clothing which reveals underwear

• Excessive Accessories: Limit excessive amounts of makeup or jewelry. 

• Inappropriate Footwear: No flip-flops, backless shoes, sliders or footwear with heels or wedges, due to health and safety concerns. 

• Offensive Content: No clothing with offensive or inappropriate logos, slogans, or imagery

Specific Considerations

• Length Guidelines: Shorts, skirts, and dresses should be a modest length, typically at least mid-thigh. 

• Leggings: If leggings are worn, they must be paired with a top or skirt that provides coverage to at least mid-thigh length. 

• School Trips: For school trips and visits, students should adhere to the same "school appropriate" dress code to maintain a professional and safe environment. 

Practical Tips

• Choose Comfortable Options: Consider comfortable and practical clothing like tracksuits for ease of movement and versatility on different days. 

• Focus on Individuality: While allowing for self-expression, we expect that students will dress in a way that respects the school as a working environment.
