It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with our school ethos. We take pride in our school and believe that uniform is an essential part of our school identity. We therefore expect parents to support our school’s uniform policy. We provide a complete list of the items needed for our school uniform below. All items can be purchased from the official school uniform provider, Price & Buckland, and most non-logo items are freely available to purchase.
Our aims are based on the belief that school uniform:
• Promotes a sense of pride in the school
• Engenders a feeling of community and belonging
• Is practical, safe and smart
• Identifies the children with the school
• Is not distracting in class (as fashion items might be)
• Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• Is regarded as suitable, and good value for money
• Royal blue school cardigan, sweatshirt or fleece (with or without logo)
• White shirt or polo shirt
• Grey or black trousers/shorts/skirt. Not tight-fitting leggings or lycra style trousers or shorts.
• Grey or black pinafore dress
• Royal blue summer gingham dress
• White, black or grey socks or tights
• Plain black flat shoes. This can be plain black trainers, as long as there are no other
colours/markings e.g. white stripes, Nike tick etc. Please ensure that footwear is easy to fasten i.e. no children should be wearing laces unless they can confidently tie them.
• Coat
• Plain white t-shirt, with or without the logo
• Black shorts or joggers; not tight-fitting leggings or lycra style trousers or shorts.
• Their blue school jumper or cardigan
• A pair of plain black trainers
We do not allow children to wear any jewellery or wrist bands other than one stud in each ear (these should be removed or taped over for PE). A watch may be worn if appropriate (smartwatches of any kind are not permitted). Large hair clips, make-up, nail varnish and temporary tattoos should also not be worn.
Children should come to school with their natural hair colour only. Any long hair must be tied up/back from faces at all times.
All clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with your child’s name on it. We cannot be responsible for any school uniform that is lost in school.
All items are available from all large supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons. Branded items are available from ‘Price and Buckland’ via the following link Waycroft branded uniform
We recognise that there are occasions when uniform is lost, damaged and or needs to be replaced and that pupils may need to come to school in alternative clothing. In such circumstances the class teacher should be informed.
However, if your child’s uniform does not meet with the school’s requirements:
• A letter will be sent home reminding parents of the school’s expectations regarding uniform.
• Alternative and appropriate uniform, including footwear may be provided for the children to wear in school.
