Uniform Policy
The Board of Management of Scoil Náisiúnta an Chroí Naofa expects that every pupil in this school will wear the school uniform. Wearing the full school uniform is seen as a vital element in maintaining an ordered environment in which pupils can learn. Proper attention to and respect for the school uniform reinforces the school ethos and our code of conduct. This policy should be read in conjunction with our school Jewellery Policy and our School Code of Behaviour. The following policy has been drafted as a result of consultation with teachers, parents and Board of Management. This policy will take effect from 01/09/2004.
