At Viewforth High School we recognise that one major aspect of a successful school is that pupils have a strong set of values which include a recognised pride in their school and a respect for their community. Our values of care, ambition, respect and equity underpin this. Alongside high attainment, achievement and good behaviour, the wearing of school uniform is a major influence on how the community and others perceive a school and the calibre of its young people. It is also a mechanism to promote equity amongst pupils.
Please find attached a letter which details our uniform expectations for next session. Our uniform supplier will be in school on Wednesday 12 June between 4.30pm and 6.30pm to allow young people to try on blazers and tops and are offering a 10% discount on this day only. They can take payment in full or orders can be placed and paid for later via their website. Please feel free to pop into school between these times to order uniform. If you are unable to source uniform for next session, please contact your child’s Guidance Teacher who will be happy to help.
