School Uniform

 

Play contributes greatly to such diverse areas as language, arts, culture, science, maths and technology. Furthermore, play supports self-regulation as a key developmental mechanism: this ability is increasingly shown to be vital to academic success.  

Research provides considerable evidence that play can develop the cognitive abilities needed for formal learning: play aids the development of problem-solving capabilities, creativity, representational skills and memory. Another important consideration is the emotional literacy and control needed to learn in school. Playing aids the development of concentration and attention. Playing in outdoor environments with natural features has been shown to be particularly helpful to this. “Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species, alongside language, culture and technology.” (Whitebread, 2012) 

To offer equity to all children, our uniform allows children to access play.
