Uniform

At Barrs Court, we are proud of our uniform. Your support and cooperation with this is very much appreciated. Our smartly dressed children are part of what gives our school a good reputation. We expect all children to wear uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-based event outside normal school hours.
