Portway Junior School Uniform

Uniform is worn at Portway Junior School to develop a sense of pride, identity and belonging in being a member of the school community. We believe that looking smart will help us to feel pride in who we are as a part of the Portway family and to take pride in all we do.

  • Make up (including nail varnish) is not permitted to be worn in school.
  • Haircuts should be appropriate for school and not classed as ‘extreme’ e.g. completely shaved heads, shaved designs/patterns, Mohawk cuts or dyed hair.
  • Hair accessories such as hair bands should be discreet e.g. no oversized bows, novelty headbands etc.
