School Uniform Policy
- Grey or black pants/tailored grey/black school shorts
- Tartan skirt/tartan pinafore dress (required)
- Red checked dress (fully checked/not separate top) with white socks (summer term)
- Red polo shirt (school logo optional)
- Black sweatshirt or cardigan (school logo optional)
- White socks/black plain socks under trousers/red/grey/black tights
- Black school shoes without laces for infants (If children travel to school in boots/trainers we ask that they change into school shoes inside or wear their pe pumps)
- PE – Black shorts (no skorts/fitted cycling shorts), plain white t-shirt, black pumps (no laces) (PE bags are available to buy from the office)
School book bag is required for children up to Year 5 and children are provided with their first one as a gift from School Friends’ Club. This will be provided on transition visits.
Children in years 5 and 6 can bring a small bag instead of a book bag if they take responsibility for ensuring all items are in class as needed.
The only jewellery allowed is a sensible wrist-watch (no Apple watches etc) and one pair of small, plain, gold or silver stud earrings which have to be removed for PE. If children are having ears pierced, please only do this in summer holidays as children cannot take part in PE with earrings in and we are unable to cover with tape.
Nail polish should not be worn for school and children should not have transfer tattoos anywhere visible during school time. We do make an exception for this in the days immediately after school discos as these are usually near holidays.
Hairstyles should be sensible and appropriate for school with natural hair colour and no tramlines or patterns. (Please save any unusual styles for summer holidays) All long hair needs to be tied back. Plain headbands/small ribbon bows can be worn, however, other fashion accessories such as large bows, braids etc should not be worn.
