Uniform
School Uniform
We encourage all children to take pride in their appearance and in our school community by wearing the school uniform. Wearing uniform is a simple yet effective way to promote a sense of belonging, unity, and school identity. It also contributes to creating a focused and respectful learning environment where high standards can thrive.
Our school uniform is designed to be practical, comfortable, and easy to wear. We encourage all children to wear the uniform and we kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child comes to school dressed appropriately.
Uniform items may feature the school logo, but unbranded alternatives are equally acceptable.
In Winter our uniform is a white shirt or polo shirt with a navy blue jumpers or cardigan and navy blue skirt/pinafore or trousers. Shirts, jumpers and cardigans can all be purchased with the school logo on using the link below. Navy, grey or black tights and socks can be worn.
Nursery children should wear a navy blue sweatshirts/jumpers/cardigans with school badge to wear with their own clothes.
In Summer, children can wear plain navy shorts and school uniform summer dresses (blue and white striped or checked). Navy or white socks can be worn.
It is expected that children wear black, sensible shoes as part of the school uniform and not trainers, open-backed or high-heeled shoes.
Only watches and stud earrings may be worn at school and must be removed for P.E. on grounds of safety. Rings, necklaces and bracelets are not to be worn. Smartwatches (with phone capability and cameras) are not allowed.
P.E:
All the children participate in P.E. unless excluded for medical reasons and will therefore need a P.E. kit to wear for these lessons. P.E. kit consists of a pale blue polo shirt (with or without the school logo) and plain navy or black shorts or leggings for indoor activities. Children do P.E. indoors barefoot but will require plimsolls or trainers for outdoor activities. Plain (no patterns or stripes) navy or black tracksuits or jogging bottoms can be worn for outdoor P.E sessions.
Outdoor Learning:
To maximise outdoor learning opportunities, children can bring in a pair of named Wellington boots and waterproof trousers and a waterproof coat in a bag to stay on their peg.
For Forest School, children need:
- A pair of welly boots or sturdy shoes to change into (in a bag because they get very muddy!)
- Long sleeve top (for fire/tool safety)
- Warm cover up (fleece/jumper)
- A waterproof coat (waterproof trousers optional or spare trousers - just in case they get wet or muddy)
- Long trousers (for fire/tool safety)
Book bags and Rucksacks:
EYFS (Nursery & Reception) and KS1 (Year 1 & 2) children require a school book bag, this can be purchased from School Trends or the school office have a small supply.
KS2 (Years 3 - 6) children can bring a small rucksack that will fit on their peg.
