School Uniform Policy

 

Introduction

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in school-organised events outside normal school hours. We encourage children to take pride in their personal appearance.

*Some items of uniform can be ordered online from our uniform supplier, Brigade (www.brigadeuniformdirect.com) Further details are on our website. The majority of uniform items are easily available, at very competitive prices, at local shops including supermarkets. We also run a second hand uniform shop in the school, supplied by parents donating nearly-new items children have outgrown. All uniform clothing items here are 50p.

Girls – Winter Uniform Dark grey or black skirt, pinafore or school trousers. White shirt, blouse or polo-shirt. *Blue school sweatshirt or cardigan, with school logo. White, grey, navy blue or black socks or tights. Black shoes Please note that leggings are not allowed Girls – Summer Uniform (optional alternative) Blue and white checked dress or culottes Dark Dark grey or black tailored school shorts

Boys – Winter Uniform Dark grey or black school trousers. White shirt or polo-shirt. *Blue school sweatshirt, with school logo. Grey, navy blue or black socks Black shoes   Boys – Summer Uniform (optional alternative) Dark grey or black tailored school shorts

Coats should be worn in cold and wet weather. Children should also bring a bag to school for any classroom items or lunches. Bags with PE kits can be left in school

Footwear

Plain black school shoes or plain black trainers, which don’t have any logos or any other colour on them.

PE Kit

• A plain red t-shirt or polo-shirt (*there is also a plain red t-shirt with the school logo available).
•  Black or navy-blue shorts.
•  Black or navy blue jogging trousers (girls are also allowed to wear leggings).
•   A pair of trainers or plimsolls
•  The P.E. kit should be kept in a P.E. bag.

Jewellery

 · If a child has a pierced ear/s, they may wear one plain gold or silver stud per ear.

 Not allowed: Rings, necklaces or bracelets.

Hair and Nails

Hair must be an appropriate style for primary school children. Extreme haircuts/styles are strictly not allowed. Hair longer than shoulder length is to be tied back for P.E. lessons and, as staff are not permitted to do this, we strongly recommend that parents of younger children prepare them before they come to school.

 Nail polish and make up are not allowed at school at any time.

Please ensure that all items of school uniform are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
