Tadcaster Grammar School students wear their uniform proudly. We believe it shows that they are a member of our school community and that it is one with the highest of standards. The uniform promotes positive behaviour and supports the staff in the classroom and around the school. It reflects the school’s heritage and supports the equality principles that lie at the heart of a gender neutral uniform.
Our uniform aims to identify students with the school and ensure students are aware of their status as representatives of the school. We hope it promotes a sense of community and belonging to the school, while engendering a sense of pride in, and loyalty to, the school. It should enable students to feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance, not discriminate in any way and promote fairness and equality.
