It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos.
We also believe it is important that certain activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours.
Below is a list of our school uniform garments.
All clothing MUST be clearly marked with the child’s name!

Coats/Jakets
Sensible jackets and footwear should be worn (please avoid leather and denim jackets and high heeled/platform soled shoes/boots). N.B. Trainers are not acceptable footwear for school. Children change their shoes on coming into school. Black pumps are to be worn for indoor shoes.
Indoor Sports
Black Pumps to be worn for indoor shoes. Indoor PE is done in bare feet and the hall floor is specially treated for this. Please inform the school if your child is suffering from any type of foot infection then he/she may be excluded from barefoot work.
Outdoor Sports
Pupils should wear trainers for outdoor sessions. In cold weather the children should wear a complete change of outfit – plain navy/black tracksuits only please. PE kits should be brought in a drawstring bag; drawstring bags embroidered with the school logo are available from the National School wear shop.
Swimming
In Year 4 the children have swimming lessons. The swimming pool is very strict about the swimming uniform: – Plain swimming trunks for the boys (**please note, NOT shorts) and one piece swimsuits for the girls (**please note, NOT bikinis), should be worn.
Restricted Items
• Make up (including coloured lip balm) should not be worn.
• Nail varnish/false nails are strictly not allowed including on non-uniform days.
• Earrings – ONLY STUD EARRINGS can be worn in school, no looped or dangly earrings are allowed. On PE days you must ensure your child’s earrings are covered with tape.
Property notice
The school cannot be held responsible for any personal property (e.g. watches) brought on to the school premises. The Governors’ policy is that jewellery should not be worn at school.
If a child has pierced ears, studs may be worn but these should be removed or taped over by the child during PE/Games lessons. If you wish your child to have his/her ears pierced, this should be done at the beginning of the summer holidays. This will ensure that earrings can be removed for school without the risk of infection.
Cloakroom space is limited so no large bags at all please! Your child will need a school book bag to bring their reading book to and from school. These can be purchased from the school uniform supplier when the time comes.
