Uniform Information

Uniform Guidelines:

 

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, representing the school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours.  It is worn by the children to encourage pride in themselves and their school, and wearing the correct uniform builds our sense of school community.

 

Our uniform:

 

Non-PE days

  • Grey trousers, shorts, pinafore or skirt
  • Red and white check dress / playsuit in the summer (optional)
  • White school collared polo shirt (with or without the school logo)
  • Red school sweatshirt / cardigan.  (Year 6 pupils are allowed to wear their Leaver's hoodie in the second half of the Summer term)
  • Black school shoes, not trainers. The photograph below is not an exhaustive list but illustrates examples of what are considered appropriate 'school shoes'.  As a rule of thumb, school shoes should be polishable and not made of fabric, suede or canvas.  If you are in doubt, please check with the school before purchasing.

PE uniform

  • Red school PE shorts
  • Blue school PE top (white PE tops can continue to be worn until September 2025)
  • Navy jogging bottoms
  • Navy tracksuit top / school sports hoodie
  • Plimsolls / trainers (not 'high top' trainers)

(Please note that tights should not be worn under PE shorts; if children need a warmer layer or would like to be more covered up, they should wear navy jogging bottoms.)

 

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds, we do not allow children to wear jewellery in school.  The exceptions to this are plain earring studs in pierced ears and small objects of religious significance.

 

Nail polish, fake nails and fake tattoos (transfers) should not be worn at school.  

 

Children are allowed to wear simple analogue or digital watches, but not fitbits or Smart watches.

 

Hair

All hair accessories should be in school colours i.e. red, black or white.  Large hair accessories, such as JoJo bows, are not permitted and children will be asked to take these off if they are worn to school.  Hair that is below shoulder length should be tied back.  The school does not allow children to have haircuts that could serve as a distraction to other children.  This includes having 'tramlines' or designs shaved into the hair.  Hair tinsel and decorative braids such as hair wrap braids or colourful 'mermaid' braids are not permitted.
