Gidea ParkSchool Uniform
At Gidea Park we are proud of our school identity and encourage our children to take pride in their school community; our high uniform standards support this ethos. The document below details clear uniform expectations for the whole school, which all pupils must adhere to. There is also further guidance on appropriate footwear, which we encourage parents to look at before purchasing school shoes.
Parents are expected to support the school in promoting and upholding our high standards of uniform. As per DfE Guidance, repeated or wilful incidents of non-compliance will be dealt with through our Behaviour Policy, which can be found on the school website. If you have any queries or concerns about uniform expectations, please contact the school office.

SUE RYDER - HORNCHURCH BRANCH. Havering Schoolwear have been working with the Sue Ryder charity to facilitate the sale of second-hand uniform; their shops now have a dedicated area for schoolwear. Our designated branch is in Hornchurch. They will accept badged items and and generic schoolwear in good, clean condition and will sell at a low cost, thereby benefiting both the parent and the charity. Please note that this is a relatively new scheme at present, and may take some time to reach its full potential.
