We believe that a school uniform gives a sense of belonging and pride as well as being practical and comfortable for children.
Our school uniform takes into account diversity, equality and inclusion. Therefore inclusive of gender, equality, faith and disability for example those children who may have sensory needs.
School uniform is encouraged but not compulsory for Pre-School children.
Uniform
Other items such as the navy blue fleece with logo are available. Children should be appropriately dressed for the weather. A suitable coat for outdoor playtime is required. During warmer weather children may wear a sunhat and a long lasting sunscreen.
Children in Early Years require an outdoor set of waterproofs (separates not an all-in-one), a pair of wellington boots in a suitable bag to be kept in school and a spare set of clothes (including underwear and socks) in case of any accidents.
PE Kit (not Pre-School)
Children are allocated to a house when they join the school and wear t-shirts in their house colour for PE. House colour PE t-shirts can be bought direct from school (from September for Reception new starters. Simply choose the size and colour you need in the Shop section of SchoolMoney, make your payment and the t-shirt will be sent home with your child.
At the beginning of the academic year you will be informed of which days your child will be having PE and/or swimming lessons (if applicable). Children should come into school on these days in their PE kit and will stay in this all day.
Swimming lesson requirements
Children can still attend swimming lessons if they have a verruca – just cover with a plaster.
The wearing of jewellery is limited to small ear studs which must be removed (or covered with plasters if newly pierced) for PE activities in compliance with DfE regulations. We ask that ear piercings are timed at the beginning of the summer holidays.
The guidance age for cosmetic beauty treatments such as eyelash extensions, fake tans and nail enhancements, ranges between 15 and 16 years of age. Therefore, these are inappropriate for primary school.
We recognise and celebrate our staff and students’ identities. Although extreme hair styles, accessories or colouring are not appropriate for school we are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone's ability to succeed.
