Uniform

Governors, parents and staff believe that wearing school uniform helps to develop a sense of community within the school and also encourages the correct attitude to learning and work.   Fleeces, sweatshirts and PE T-Shirts with the school logo along with book bags are available from Brigade Clothing School - Brigade Clothing, LTD.  Trousers, skirts, dresses and shorts can all be purchased from supermarkets or high street shops. If you require any new items of school uniform, parents are welcome to peruse our second-hand stock in the hall and either swap items or make a small donation to the PTA funds - a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle, as well as saving money! We would encourage parents to return any good quality items of school uniform (including school shoes) that are no longer needed to the school office.   

Pupils in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) are entitled to an annual uniform allowance of £50 - please speak to the school office in confidence for more information.

Jewellery

We would prefer Jewellery not be worn at school for safety reasons.  Pupils with pierced ears are permitted to wear a pair of small stud earrings. Should pupils choose to wear a wrist watch, this should be small in size. All jewellery including earrings must be removed for PE and swimming.  The school cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.

Please may we also draw attention to some other aspects of uniform and presentation.

  • Hair, if on the shoulder or longer, needs to be in a ponytail or similar – every day please

  • Hair styles should be neat and appropriate for a school setting – no very short grade haircuts

  • Earrings MUST be removed for PE by the child

  • Please could parents bear in mind that when toe nails or finger nails are long this presents a hazard in PE as they could tear painfully

  • No make-up including nail varnish

 

PLEASE LABEL all clothes items and check that your child has the correct items when they get home. This helps hugely with lost property!
