Urgent -Scrap shirts and ties in KS2 at Niton Primary School - please sign by Sunday 14th July 2025

We, the parents of Niton Primary School pupils would like to scrap shirts and ties for KS2 students. These students would continue to wear the same uniform as KS1. 
I recommend that the change be implemented in a staggered manner to minimise disruption. 

Why is this important?

It no longer feels appropriate for primary aged children to have to wear a shirt and tie for school. There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that wearing comfier clothes has positive impacts on attendance, wellbeing and achievement. 
It is old fashioned and not reflected in society so seems unsuitable for young children.
