Uniform Policy

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school and when participating in a school-organised events outside normal school hours.
​
We believe that wearing a 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 the FSU
  ·         Prevents children from coming to school in fashion clothes that could be a distraction
  ·         Helps children feel equal to their peers
  ·         Is regarded as suitable wear for school and represents value for money
  ·         Is designed with health and safety in mind

​​Please ensure your child’s clothes and shoes are clearly labelled with their name.  
​Foundation Stage children should have  a spare change of clothes in the FSU at all times.   Children can keep a pair of named wellies in the FSU  so that  they are able to play in the garden in all weathers.

All children  should have a pair of trainers for outside sporting activities all year round.  All children must wear suitable clothing and footwear when using the playground climbing equipment.  The PE apparatus can only be used by children with bare feet or wearing plimsolls.
Jewellery
Children with pierced ears are allowed to wear small studs or sleepers in school.  County Health and Safety regulations insist they are removed for physical activities.  NO child is allowed to wear any earrings while swimming.  Teachers are not able to remove earrings for children.  If a child cannot remove their own earrings, then they should not wear them to school on a swimming day.  For all other physical activities, children may remove their own studs or bring in plasters to cover them.  These rules are for the children’s own safety.
Earrings should be limited to a single, small stud which can be removed by the child for PE and swimming. Make up and extreme hairstyles are a distraction and should not be worn.
