The Benefits of School Uniform for Children*

*This is a collaborative post*

 

Most schools enforce a School Uniform Policy. This might include a formal uniform, such as a blazer and tie; or something more casual like a jumper or T-shirt with the school emblem.

Although school uniform may not always be a child’s top wardrobe choice, it does in fact offer them a number of benefits. I have collaborated with an independent school in Surrey to explore some of these benefits below…

Improves your child’s safety

One of the top reasons why schools ask children to wear a uniform is to increase student safety. For example, a uniform helps teachers to easily identify their students on a school trip or spot an intruder on the school premises.

Benefits your child’s learning

Both teachers and parents believe that wearing school uniform helps to build a better educational environment. This is because it helps students to focus on what they are learning and not on what others are wearing.

Reduces the risk of bullying

Fashion can be a main cause of bullying amongst children. When children are all wearing the same uniform, there is less competition about who has the best outfit or who is wearing the most fashionable brand. It helps to turn the focus on to a person’s character rather than their appearance and prevents this form of bullying.

Time saving for parents

Knowing that your child will be wearing the same uniform each day greatly reduces the time it takes to get them ready for school. This not only reduces stress for parents, but it also helps to reduce the pile of family laundry!

Money saving for parents

School uniform helps parents to save money by not having to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Families typically purchase uniform for their children at the beginning of each school year. This is because school uniforms are made to last, using durable materials that can withstand daily wear and tear.

Creates a feeling of team spirit

Finally, when students all wear one uniform together, they are representing the school they belong to. This helps to create a sense of team spirit and pride. By encouraging children to wear a school uniform it can help them to develop a strong team mentality.
