School Uniform

We believe that the children should all look smart and wear the same uniform. Uniform helps pupils to prepare for when they leave school and may have to dress smartly or wear a uniform. Uniforms can raise expectations of themselves; when dressed neatly, pupils tend to behave appropriately as they are taking pride in themselves.

One of our core values is community; wearing a uniform helps pupils gain a sense of belonging within a community with equality.

Most of the uniform can be bought at local shops at a reasonable price and the PTFA have a wide selection of pre-owned uniform. 

Logoed uniform is purchased through Price & Buckland UK’s Leading School Uniform Supplier - Price & Buckland (price-buckland.co.uk)

Extra Information

Coats should be warm and waterproof during the winter months.  

No jewellery is permitted at school, with the exception of plain gold or silver stud earrings. The only exceptions to this are in the case of jewellery worn for religious reasons, in which case parents need to make a written request and for newly-pierced ears, when the studs cannot be removed for several weeks. In this case, the earrings are to be taped during school hours, before entering school each day. In order to avoid difficulties, the ideal time to have ears pierced therefore, is right at the beginning of the summer break. 

During hot weather children are encouraged to wear hats to protect their necks and ears. Sun cream should be applied before they come to school. Sunglasses are not permitted unless a child has a medical condition, when a letter from the doctor is required.  

Nail varnish and make up is not permitted.
