School Uniform

We believe that a school uniform is important in building the pupils’ sense of identity and belonging to the community of the school. It instils a sense of pride in the school and supports positive behaviour. It is one of the symbols of the ethos of the school.

Our policy requires pupils to wear:

Uniform

• • Logo navy Sweatshirt/Cardigan
  • White Collared Polo Shirt
  • Charcoal Grey Knee-Length A-line Skirt / pinafore or Charcoal Grey Tailored Trousers or Charcoal Grey Tailored Shorts or Blue Check Summer Dress / Skorts
  • Plain Grey, Black or White Socks / Grey Tights (Plain White Socks with Summer Dress)
  • Black Polishable Shoes (no boots/heels, trainers, pumps or platforms) or White or Black Polishable Sandals with closed toes or shoes
  • Logo Book Bag / Rucksack Or Small Bag

PE Kit

All pupils must wear:

• • Coloured logo T-shirt depending on crew (Plain non-logo t-shirts can be used but should be plain and the colour for their crew.
  • Navy or Black Shorts (at least mid-thigh in length)
  • Standard school jumper as everyday sweatshirt
  • Plain Navy or Black Jogging Pants
  • Dark, Plain coloured Daps/Trainers

The school office sells P.E. t-shirts, P.E. sweatshirts, jumpers and cardigans.

Jewellery:

In the interests of safety, no jewellery – chains, rings or decorative earrings – may be worn in school. Stud earrings for pierced ears are acceptable. Standard ‘nontoy’ watches may be worn although the school cannot take responsibility for them and they must be removed for P.E. lessons. For safeguarding reasons, we do not allow smart-watches that have video/photo capabilities. It is suggested that items of value should not be worn to school. The School takes no responsibility for loss.
Nail polish and temporary tattoos are not acceptable as part of the school uniform.

Hair:

Long hair should be tied back. Each child should have an appropriate hairstyle and haircut for school. The School does not permit children to have haircuts that could serve as a distraction to other children.
Hair bands should be a sensible size and worn in school colours – either red/blue or white if possible.

Headwear:

We recommend that pupils wear a hat in the summer months, on the playground/field, to protect themselves from the sun (in addition to sun cream – see relevant policy).

Footwear:

It is important that children have sensible shoes for school – no boots. Trainers are worn for P.E. only and should not be worn at other times during the school day. Shoes with raised heels, clogs or mules should also not be worn. Sandals that are supportive and are in an appropriate colour are acceptable.
