Uniform
It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for school uniform in line with the most recent government statutory guidance.
Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
- promotes a sense of pride in the school;
- engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
- is practical and smart;
- identifies the children with the school and sets the tone for education;
- makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
- is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents;
- is designed with health and safety in mind.
- addresses any appropriate equality, diversity and inclusion needs.
Water Bottle
Please send your child into school with a full, named bottle of water every day.
Book Bag
Children will be able to borrow story books from our library. Please encourage your child to re-tell the story, predict events and answer questions about the story. Please ensure books are well looked after. School book bags are available from many retailers and our school uniform providers.
Strong Waterproof Sports Bag or Rucksack
Children will require a strong waterproof sports bag or rucksack not “handbag” style for PE kit.
Please ensure that all items of uniform and equipment are clearly labelled.

Hair
Hair should be kept clean and tidy and must not be worn in any extreme style or have an appearance inconsistent with traditional good standards of uniform. We realise that this can be interpreted differently according to culture and ethnicity and are happy to accept and value all kinds of smart as long as these are consistent with the headteacher’s final judgement.
We follow the Halo Code. If worn short, hair may have a gradual fade, but should not be stepped or a grade 0 at any point. If short hair is worn the same length all over it may be no shorter than grade 2. Hair should be of a natural colour. No patterns or tramlines should be shaved into the hair or the eyebrows. Long hair should be fastened or tied back for practical activities. Hair ornaments should not be worn. Hair bands/hijabs must be plain and either black, white or navy.
Jewellery
On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school. The exceptions to this rule are ear-ring studs in pierced ears in the lower lobes. In Key Stage 1 watches are not permitted.
