A school uniform is an important part of belonging to a school. It helps pupils present themselves positively, gives them confidence to represent the school and promotes a strong sense of identity.

Our School Uniform 

• White polo shirt
• Navy school sweatshirt or cardigan with logo
• Dark grey or black formal trousers (no fashion styles)
• Dark grey or black formal skirt
• Blue checked gingham dress (optional in warmer weather)
• Flat, black, sturdy school shoes

Year 6: Pupils wear a special uniform consisting of a maroon jumper and an Atkinson Road tie.

New admits receive a free school sweatshirt on admission.

Appearance

Hair should be neat and tidy. Extreme styles, colours, patterns, or large accessories are not permitted. For safety reasons, children are not allowed to wear jewellery unless this is for religious reasons (inline the Equality Act 2010).

PE Kit

PE kit is provided by school free of charge and includes shorts, tops, jogging bottoms and a school hoodie. These items are regularly washed for all children.

Swimming

For swimming lessons, children should bring:

• A swimming costume or trunks
• A towel
• A small bag to carry their items

All items should be taken home each week to be cleaned and returned for the next session.

Other Items

Every child is given a free reading book bag.

Valuable items should not be brought into school. We do not allow jewellery to be worn in school. Children are allowed to wear a regular watch but not a smartwatch. 

Hot Weather Expectations

During periods of hot weather, we may relax uniform expectations. This may include:

• Allowing children to wear PE kit
• Encouraging lightweight, breathable clothing
• Ensuring children bring water bottles and sun protection (e.g. hats)

We will communicate any temporary changes to uniform clearly with parents.
