Year 6 Uniform Reminder

Dear Parents,

As our fabulous Year 6 students get ready for their big leap to secondary school, it is time for a uniform check-in. We want them looking sharp, taking pride in their appearance, and setting a great example, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

Please ensure your child is adhering to the following uniform expectations:

  • Skirt Length – Keep it classy, not too short. Skirts should be a respectable length in line with school guidelines. Mid thigh.
  • Footwear – Smart, black shoes only (except on sports days, when white or black trainers are permitted).
  • Earrings – Only simple stud earrings are allowed, Hoops may look stylish, but they are not part of our uniform policy.

Let us set them up with good habits now before secondary school raises the bar on uniform standards. By working together, we can prepare our students for their next adventure while helping them develop pride and respect for their school community.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,

VHPS Team
