School Uniform and Dress Code
We expect all children to wear the school uniform and this is dependant on the part of the school your child attends.
Early Years:
Nursery and Reception classes have a different uniform to the rest of the school.
- Children in Early Years do not need a PE kit.
- Children should bring a “Book Bag” to school every day.
- Children in Nursery Class should bring a carrier bag with a change of clothing.
- Please ensure your child’s name is written clearly on all items of clothing including hats, scarves and coats.
Why do we wear Uniform?
• To look smart
• To be comfortable and in appropriate clothing
• To be ready to learn

PLEASE remember to label ALL items of clothing!
Swimming
For KS2 swimming, girls need a one-piece bathing suit, boys need swimming trunks, a swimming cap, goggles, comb and towel should be provided from home.
Jewellery
To prevent damage or injury to any child, jewellery, should not be worn for school at all. If a child does wear earrings they should be one pair of small stud type earrings. No hooped or large “dangly earrings are allowed. School policy stipulates that earrings cannot be worn for P.E. or swimming so should be removed, ideally at home. Staff are not insured to remove children’s earrings and items will be left in school entirely at your own risk. Parents are advised that piercing should be done at the beginning of the summer holidays so that earrings can be removed for school from September.
Please put your child’s name in every item of clothing including coats and shoes, so that items are not misplaced and can be easily found if lost.
It is important to remember that children come to school to learn, and that ‘party’ clothes and ‘statement hairstyles’ are not appropriate during a school day. Striking hairstyles, which includes shaved patterns, Mohicans, ‘tails’ and dyes / bleach, are not allowed. Nail varnish should not be worn for school. Long hair should be tied back for school.
