Uniform
As a school, we fully understand the financial pressures in the world today and with this in mind, we do not expect children to wear branded uniform. We do expect the children to wear the school colours but you can purchase uniform from local supermarkets.
If you would like your child to wear branded uniform this can be ordered from the following websites and delivered to your preferred address:

or

We also offer a secondhand uniform shop so if you need uniform, don’t forget to have a look on our school uniformd site:

Book bags and PE bags are currently still available in school. Please speak to Miss Morrisroe at the office to purchase these items. We now only hold a very limited stock of uniform.
Winter: Grey trousers/shorts/skirt/pinafore, navy school polo shirt, green school jumper or green school cardigan, black/grey plain socks or grey tights, black school shoes (No trainers, boots, jeans, leggings or jogging bottoms)
Summer: Grey shorts or skirt with white or grey socks, navy polo shirt, green school summer dress, school green jumper or cardigan black school shoes (No trainers, boots, jeans, leggings or jogging bottoms).
PE KIT: Green school PE t-shirt, navy or black shorts or skort, black, grey or navy jogging bottoms and grey or navy Tracksuit top/Hoodie or alternatively the blue school PE hoodie. We prefer children to wear sports trainers. If your child wears tights to school, please provide them with socks in their PE kit to change into for sports clubs and PE lessons. This can be kept in a green school PE bag.
Jewellery:
- 1 pair of plain studded earrings is acceptable, we cannot allow hooped earrings. Earrings must be removed for swimming lessons, children will not be allowed to swim with earrings in, if your child is unable to remove them please ensure they are removed at home before school starts.
- Students are welcome to wear a wristwatch as we feel this will aid them in learning to tell the time but this is not to be a smart watch.
- No other jewellery is permitted.
Hair: Please ensure that where possible, hair is tied back, this is for health and safety reasons and also helps to prevent the spread of head lice. No large bows to be worn. No extreme styles or colours are permitted.
Swimming kit:
One-piece swimming costume (No bikinis), swimming trunks or tight shorts (not baggy shorts) towel, swim hat and if required swimming goggles. No jewellery including earrings can be worn in the pool.
No jewellery including earrings can be worn in the pool.
Waterproofs and outdoor wear:
We would like to request that all students have in school with them, at all times, a pair of wellies and a set of water proof trousers and water proof coat. This allows us to let the children be outdoors as much as reasonably possible at play, lunch times and for outdoor learning.
Please ensure that during colder months where the weather is unsettled your child has appropriate coat, hats, gloves and scarve in school with them each day.
