Parents are able to purchase school uniform from The School Outfit - click here to be taken to their website.

The full uniform policy can be found here and an abbreviated version is below.

Shirts & Ties

Top buttons must be fastened, and shirts tucked in.  Teachers will encourage younger children in this respect as appropriate.

We expect to see older pupils taking personal responsibility for uniform standards and parents will be informed in cases of what might be termed “persistent scruffiness” following repeated warnings.

Pupils above Year Two will wear traditional ties and learn to tie them properly.  Younger children will be encouraged to wear elasticated ties.  The school uniform supplier does not supply clip-on ties.

How children wear shirts and ties can occasionally be affected by sensory issues – if that applies to a child, parents should let us know and we will make reasonable allowances.

Velcro-fastened shirts should not be worn unless there is a genuine reason for doing so. 

Ties should be worn so that all shirt buttons are covered.

 Skirts & Trousers

Older pupils must ensure that skirts are not worn too short.  The school’s view of what is too short is not negotiable and will be based on common sense.  As a guide, skirts should touch the top of the knee or be longer and must not be rolled up. 

All pupils may wear grey trousers.  If pupils find it difficult to wear skirts at a reasonable length, we might insist that they wear trousers instead, or they may choose to do so. If trousers are worn, they must be smart grey trousers and not leggings, track suit bottoms or similar.

Shoes, Socks and Tights

Shoes must be black and polishable.  This means that pupils are not allowed to wear patent leather shoes, boots or trainers.  Pupils who come to school wearing anything other than black, polishable shoes will be asked to remedy that by the next day, and parents will be informed by email. 

Socks worn with trousers or skirts must be grey - in the case of socks worn with a skirt, they must be knee-length. Black, or multi-coloured, socks are not acceptable. If a child is wearing a summer gingham dress, white socks should be worn (not trainer socks). 

Tights, if worn, must be grey (below Ravens class); for older girls, tights should be black and no less than 80-denier. 

Bags, Coats, Scarves, Gloves & Hats

The green school bag (with logo) is recommended but where a larger bag is needed, it should be plain black and without obvious logos.  The green school bag can be obtained from the uniform supplier at very reasonable cost.

Again, the school winter coat is strongly recommended – it is reasonably-priced, of very good quality and warm.  If a pupil’s own coat is worn, it must again be plain black without fur collars, obvious logos or similar. 

All scarves, gloves and hats must be plain black or “school green”. 

Pupils are encouraged to wear the school hoodie which is available from the supplier.   

Religious Dress

Dress specific to a pupil’s religion may be worn provided the reasons for doing so have been clearly communicated to the school and the school is satisfied that a variation to the school policy is fair and justified.

Hair

Hairstyles should be neat, tidy and safe.  Long hair must always be tied back.  Hair bobbles must be black or school green.  No other hair adornments other than small clips may be worn.

Jewellery, Make-Up etc.

Other than small ear studs and wrist watches, no jewellery of any kind may be worn.  “Smart” watches may not be worn, and expensive watches should not be brought in to school.

Make-up may not be worn.  Pupils may use clear lip balm, although this should not be applied during lessons.

Coloured nail varnish may not be worn, and false nails are not allowed.   

PE Equipment

Pupils must wear for all PE and after-school sports clubs:

·       School polo shirt with logo – this is inexpensive and can be bought from the uniform supplier

·       Black shorts (not dark blue) without logos

·       Plain black track suit bottoms may be worn as an alternative to shorts

·       Black trainers (not white) or black plimsolls

No other PE kit is acceptable, even for clubs (e.g., football, tennis etc.).
