Uniform
The children are encouraged to wear school uniform as it promotes a feeling of identity and pride in the school.
The David Ross Education Trust (the Trust) believes that uniforms are an important element in nurturing a sense of identity and responsibility.
All Trust academies have a uniform which is accessible to all pupils and their families and which represents value for money. The Trust and its academies are committed to supporting families experiencing hardship to ensure that all pupils can comply with their individual academy’s Uniform Procedures. If you would like further information on support please contact the office or speak with your child's teacher.

We expect a high standard of dress from Cedar Road children. We consider it important to show value and respect for our school family. Extremes of fashion in hairstyles or clothing are not suitable for general school wear. We ask that hair is tied up for PE lessons and that clips, bows, bobbles and headbands are in school colours and small.
