When your child starts school they will need items to support their learning and when participating in indoor and outdoor PE lessons. Below is a list of items your child will need for starting school.

All clothing and equipment should be clearly labelled with your child’s name. Please make sure that your child’s name is on all parts of their school uniform – even their shoes. It is easier for us to locate lost property if it is named.

• A warm, waterproof jacket
• An indoor PE kit – shorts, a t-shirt and a pair of indoor gym shoes
• An outdoor PE kit – leggings or jogging trousers, a t-shirt, a fleece or zipped top, outdoor trainers
• A school bag
• A pencil case
• A small manageable snack for playtime
• A water bottle
• A packed lunch if they are not having school dinners.

As always if you have any questions about your child’s transition please contact the school by e-mail.

At Uphall Primary School we expect pupils to follow our dress code by wearing school uniform.  All items can be purchased through the BE WEAR website (https://www.border-embroideries.co.uk/)  with the exception of tartan items which can be purchased through the school office – please contact via email.

• a purple or white polo shirt
• a purple sweatshirt/jumper/cardigan (P1-P6)
• a black sweatshirt/jumper/cardigan (P7 only)
• a black or grey skirt/pinafore/trouser
• a tartan pinafore or kilt can also be worn
• black shoes

Please ensure all items are labelled with your child’s name and class.

Pupils will require PE kit for 2 hours of PE every week.  Due to current restrictions, pupils attend school  in PE kit on their scheduled PE days, however this will be reviewed and information will be shared with families if there are changes to this.
