Acomb First School – School Uniform Information
At Acomb First School, we have a school uniform which all children are expected to wear everyday whilst learning. We believe that our uniform is practical, comfortable and easy to maintain and stands out as something our children are proud to wear each and every day as a child of Acomb First School. It also helps to create a sense of community and belonging. Acomb First School prides itself in being inclusive and will endeavour to support every child regardless of their level of need. This uniform has been designed to remove as many barriers as possible for children and their families.
