Uniform
The uniform at Al Salam Community School is worn with pride. It’s a sign of the commitment to share our values on a daily basis.
At Al Salam Community School (ASCS), the uniform is a powerful symbol of our community and high standards, fostering a sense of pride and belonging amongst all pupils. We uphold a strict approach to uniform throughout the academic year, in line with the school’s ethos of conservative attire and respect for the local Muslim and Arab community.
The policy applies to all pupils from FS1 through to Year 13, who are expected to be smartly dressed at all times.
