School Uniform
Clothing for School
All of our children wear the school uniform. Children are expected to come to school clean and suitably dressed and we do appreciate parents’ co-operation in this matter.
Our uniform consists of red or white polo shirt, grey pullover or sweatshirt, red cardigan, grey shorts or trousers or a grey skirt. In the summer months, a red checked dress may be worn. Black school shoes must be worn. Generic items are acceptable and we do not expect branded items to be warn.
Uniform items with the school badge are available from local children’s outfitters.
School uniform can be purchased from Whitefields Custom Clothing. They can provide our school uniform and a percentage of the total is donated to school.
We do have some clean pre - loved uniform items available thanks to the kind donation of parents. We can make this available to any parent who would like it, subject to items being available.

Pupils with long hair should have it tied back at all times.
Pupils are not permitted to have spray coloured hair, false nails or nail varnish at any time in school. Make up cannot be worn during the school day which includes non-uniform days. Face paint cannot be worn at any time.
No smart watches or mobile phones.
Please ensure that your child has suitable footwear for school; training shoes are not part of the uniform and neither are trainer type shoes. Older children are allowed to wear trainers at lunchtime on the playground. Children change back into school shoes when they come back into school.
In the summer months it is still important for children to wear the appropriate footwear – not open sandals, slingbacks, wedge sandals or ballet pumps.
P.E. and Games form part of the school curriculum from the summer term in Foundation 2 and suitable clothing and footwear is necessary. For P.E. lessons, the required kit is: Blue or white shorts, school T-shirt and pumps.
It is safer for younger children to do dance and P.E. in bare feet.
It is important that children have their P.E. kits in school at all times. Please ensure that kits are named and in a named bag to hang on their peg. We encourage the children to take kits home at half terms for washing.
It is advisable for children to bring into school an old apron or shirt to wear during art activities as we cannot be responsible for stains caused by paint or glue spillages during art lessons.
