School Uniform
Uniform fosters a sense of identity with the school, promotes a feeling of belonging and emits pride in the school. We have high expectations for how our children present themselves as we know that this is a valuable lesson in life.

We have high expectations for school uniform. We consider this to be good preparation for life beyond Eden Park. We expect children to present themselves well, showing pride in their appearance. These high expectations are applied to all aspects of school life.
The purchase of school uniform, with a current logo, is ordered directly through Riviera School Days (186 Union Street, Torquay. Tel: 293650) or from Lavendar Mob, (Union Lane, Brixham. Tel: 854822).
