School Uniform
We believe that a school uniform is important in building the pupils’ sense of identity and belonging to the community of the school. It instils a sense of pride in the school and supports positive behaviour. It is one of the symbols of the ethos of the school.
Our School Uniform consists of:
- white polo shirt
- burgundy jumper
- burgundy cardigan
- grey trousers
- grey shorts
- grey skirt
- grey pinafore
- burgundy and white check summer dress
- grey socks
- black school shoes
Our P.E Uniform consists of:
- white P.E. T-shirts
- burgundy or dark shorts
- trainers
- plain dark jogging bottoms for colder weather
The school office sells polo shirts, P.E. t-shirts, jumpers and cardigans that carry the school badge. In addition we have a burgundy reversible fleece school coat.
All items of school uniform should be clearly labelled with the child’s name.
Shoes
It is important that children have sensible shoes for school. Trainers are worn for P.E. only, but should not be worn at other times during the school day. Shoes with raised heels, clogs or mules should also not be worn. Sandals that are supportive and are in an appropriate colour are acceptable. Please consider that open-toed sandals do not provide protection to the toes.
Jewellery
In the interests of safety, no jewellery – chains, rings or decorative earrings – may be worn in school. Stud earrings for pierced ears are acceptable and will be taped up during PE. Standard ‘non-toy’ watches may be worn although the school cannot take responsibility for them and they must be removed for P.E. lessons. Children will not be allowed to wear smart-watches that have 3G/messaging/picture taking capability. A ‘Fitbit’ style watch that counts steps is acceptable. Nail polish and temporary tattoos are not acceptable as part of the school uniform.
Hair
Long hair should be tied back and please ensure your child has an appropriate hairstyle and haircut for school. It is not uncommon for children to have nits and class teachers will communicate with you if this is the case, with a suggestion of hair being tied up to reduce the risk of them spreading.
Hats
In our warmer months the children can wear caps and hats. Please can these be an appropriate colour and size, as well as being plain e.g. no logos or large branding on them.
