Uniform
What a child wears to school reflects his/her learning. It also portrays the school’s ethos and shared positive values. Therefore we expect that no child has an extreme hairstyle such as Mohican / braided / shaved / brightly coloured etc. Hair styles as well as the uniform are central to the ethos of the school. We don’t allow children to wear jewellery in school, apart from a watch and one pair of small stud earrings, which the children will be asked to remove during games and P.E. activities for their personal safety. Children are not permitted to wear nail varnish, and will be asked to remove it if they do.
We have a smart but simple uniform that we encourage all pupils to wear.
Black / grey trousers, skirt (to the knee), pinafore dress, culottes or shorts
White polo shirt with or without logo
Royal blue sweatshirt, v necked jumper or cardigan with or without logo
Blue checked summer dress
Black school shoes (not trainers)
All uniform requirements can be purchased via:
PE and Games Kit
Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on the days when they have timetabled PE lessons – your child’s class teacher will inform you on which days these will be.
It is important for pupils to wear correct clothing for physical activities. For PE children require a white t-shirt and black shorts. For games activities outside, children need a white t-shirt, black shorts and trainers. A plain tracksuit (black or navy without logos) may be worn for games during winter months. All clothing should be clearly labelled. Jewellery must not be worn for sporting activities and long hair should be tied back.
Our Uniform Bank
We have a fully stocked uniform bank made up from donations from parents/local community. These items are either new or in very good condition. Everything is catalogued, organised and available to access.
This is a discreet, free service for any family that requires any assistance with uniform items.
