School Uniform
We believe that a simple uniform is helpful in establishing high standards of appearance in school. By wearing it, children quickly feel proud to be part of our school community. Our School Uniform Policy (available at https://www.hever.kent.sch.uk/policies), explains how we meet our duty to make sure that our uniform is affordable. This includes limiting the number of compulsory branded items to 3 items (in bold below). School uniform with the logo is available from our supplier, Ellis Scott via their website. We have a summer and winter uniform, details of which can be found below. There is no set time of year for wearing summer and winter uniform, allowing children to wear what is comfortable for the weather. However, children should wear either summer or winter uniform and not a mix of both.
