School Uniform

Our uniform policy is linked to our ethos our inclusivity and a focus on high standards and everyone taking pride in themselves. 

The following school Uniform Expectations have been developed in conjunction with the Department for Education guidance on school uniform as set out here: Cost of school uniforms - GOV.UK

After consultation between the Local School Board and parents, the school adopted the following mode of dress for school:

  • Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan
  • Royal blue or white shirts, blouses, t-shirts, or polo shirts
  • Grey or black skirts or trousers
  • Sensible, black shoes
  • Grey, white or black socks or tights

 

During the summer pupils may wear grey or black tailored shorts. Pupils may wear blue summer dresses.  We ask particularly that t-shirts are plain with no logos or writing on them, other than the school logo. All items of clothing should be clearly marked.

We expect all trousers and skirts to be of an appropriate style in order to look smart and to allow them to take full part in all activities. We do not expect children to wear leggings.

​We recommend your child brings a coat to school in most weathers as our climate is very changeable.

We request that no makeup or nail varnish is worn to school. In the summer we request that children bring a sunhat to wear when outside and in the winter a functional (eg: woolly) hat can be worn if necessary.

Please ensure all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name. 

 

Where can I purchase uniform items?

School uniform can be purchased either through Pinders Schoolwear who have a dedicated shop located in Crystal Peaks or School Trends who offer a click and collect service and will deliver to school free of charge. Information about where items can be purchased online can be found below:

Alternatively, school has a range of the above uniform items (some brand new along with preloved ones) that can be acquired at school at no cost. If you wish to collect some of these brand-new or second-hand items, please see the school office.

Children will be encouraged to maintain standards of tidiness, neatness and cleanliness of dress at all times.

  

  • For PE and Games we encourage a change of clothing – grey, black or navy shorts/leggings or tracksuit bottoms.
  • A PE t-shirt (in house colours) is provided when your child first joins school.
  • A change of footwear for PE is required – pumps or trainers with non-scuff soles. If it is cold, pupils may wear a warm top for outdoor games.
  • The wearing of jewellery, make up, nail polish and other personal adornments is not allowed in school in order to maintain a suitable appearance, to limit any unnecessary distractions to learning and to minimise any health and safety risks. The only exceptions to this rule are wrist watches and ear studs. Religious items and medical jewellery such as a medical alert bracelet may also be worn by a pupil with a medical condition. We would ask that you speak to a member of the leadership team if this is the case so all relevant staff are aware.
