If a child comes to school without a uniform or not in accordance with the policy, school staff will first contact the family to ask for a change of clothes. If no change of clothes is available or no one can be reached, students will be required to change into a uniform provided by Northmoor. If chronic uniform problems occur, disciplinary action will be taken. The uniform policy is strictly enforced.
