Uniform

Our school uniform policy is currently under review in partnership with the governing body. As part of this process, we gathered valuable feedback from parents, carers, pupils, and staff. We were delighted to receive a significant number of responses from parents and carers, reflecting a wide range of perspectives and demonstrating how strongly families care about what works best for their children.

All comments have been carefully reviewed and summarised into key themes, including the most frequently raised points and the number of families sharing similar views.

Uniform Survey Feedback

We remain committed to ensuring that any future uniform guidance is inclusive, affordable, practical, and respectful of the diverse needs of our pupils and families. Governors will consider this feedback at the start of the autumn term, and should any changes be agreed, they will be introduced gradually to allow families to make use of existing uniform items until they naturally need replacing.

Dress Code

Spare Uniform

For children in Nursery and Reception, we ask for spare uniform, pants and tights/socks to be kept in a drawstring bag on the children’s pegs.

Outdoor wear

Please ensure children bring weather appropriate clothes, including a warm, shower-proof coat in the winter and a sun hat in the summer.

 Named wellington boots are required for outdoor learning in nursery and reception.

Jewellery

A wrist watch is permitted. Smart watches that link to a phone or have camera functions will not be permitted. Please note that if a child brings an allowed device to school, it is their responsibility to keep it safe. The school cannot be held liable for any loss or damage.

Plain silver or gold stud earrings are permitted but these need to be removed for PE lessons and swimming.

Hair

We ask for long hair to be tied back with an appropriate hair bobble and/or clip. These should be blue or black and not overly ornate.

 Hair colourant, excessive use of hair gel and patterns shaved into hair are not acceptable.

 Religious headwear should be in line with uniform colours.

Make-up

Nail varnish, fake nails, fake tan and make-up are not permitted.

Special Note

If you wish your child to wear special items of clothing and/or jewellery for a particular religious reasons, you should contact the Head Teacher. Individual requests will be dealt with respectfully and with regard to Health and Safety requirements.
