INTRODUCTION
At the British School of Bucharest (BSB), our school uniform reflects pride, equality, and belonging. We believe that wearing the uniform with care helps every student develop a sense of responsibility and shared identity. This policy outlines the uniform requirements for Primary students and provides guidance to parents on appropriate presentation and dress throughout the school year.
2. AIMS
● Promote inclusivity, comfort, and safety.
● Ensure that students are neat, tidy, and well-presented at all times.
● Ensure that all items are clearly labelled with the student’s name.
● Ensure that full uniform is worn correctly during school hours, on trips, and at official school events, unless stated otherwise.

GENERAL UNIFORM – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
● You will be informed, by letter, regarding the switch from winter to summer uniform.

This usually remains until the start of Term 3, when summer uniform begins.

● Bags should be plain in colour (navy, grey, or black) and of a suitable size to carry books, laptops, and daily essentials.
● Designer handbags or bags with large logos or embellishments (e.g. Dior, LV, etc.) are not permitted.
