School Uniform

We believe that the positive ethos of the school and the pupils attitude to their work and themselves are all reflected in the wearing of the school colours.

The uniform also enhances the feeling of ‘belonging’ to our school.

Our uniform increases security as it makes an intruder to the school or school grounds easier to identify.

We are proud of our school colours and are sure that the wearing of them adds a sense of pride and responsibility to the wearer.

We ask children to wear the following uniform:

Girls:   Grey or black school skirt, pinafore or trousers, White blouse or a polo shirt in white or yellow.  School jersey, cardigan or sweatshirt. School tie. Flat, sensible, comfortable shoes.

Boys:   Grey or black trouser, White shirt or a polo shirt in white or yellow. School jersey or a school sweatshirt, School tie.  Flat, sensible, comfortable shoes.

Should you have any difficulty accessing this online please don’t hesitate to ask our school office staff for assistance.

We do have a stock of ties in school for families to purchase.

Please ensure all your child’s clothing is labelled with their name.

For PE all children need gym shoes, shorts and T-shirts.

These should be worn to school on your child’s gym day and should be appropriate for active use in the gym (not too loose, no hoodies, nothing that will catch on gym equipment).

For younger children, simple and easy to change clothes are best.  Buttons, buckles and laces can take time to deal with and slip on gym shoes are better than shoes with laces.

We actively discourage and do not allow the wearing of football or team colours to PE lessons, school clubs or in the classroom.

Our experience is that wearing team strips can lead to tension and conflict which may progress to bullying or unwanted behaviour or attention between children.

Jewellery 

Your child should not come to school with jewellery or accessories.

Jewellery should not be worn during P.E. as it can be dangerous.

If valuables are lost or damaged, this may cause upset, as well as time which should be spent on teaching being spent trying to sort out problems.

 

Make up at school:

We ask that children do not wear make up to school. This can be distracting and can lead to peer pressure to conform to a certain image.
