School Uniform

We want our school to be a place to be proud of, where we respect ourselves and each other, and where we are ready and committed to learning.  A uniform is compulsory, but children also need to feel comfortable.

 Our school uniform achieves these aims and is as follows:    

 

School Uniform
  • Navy sweatshirt/cardigan/jumper
  • Navy/ dark grey or black pinafore/skirt/trousers – No denim or corduroy; not cut away at the bottom or tapered, skin tight, skinny or legging styles
  • Blue/white shirt/blouse
  • Blue checked summer dress
  • Dark-coloured shorts may be worn
  • Navy/white socks/grey socks/tights - No other coloured socks or tights are allowed, and trainer socks should not be worn
  • Black school shoes, not trainers or canvas-type shoes
  • No tattoos, nail varnish or makeup
  • Small Watches may be worn but must be removed for PE. Smart watches (devices that have games, text, phone, or camera capabilities) are NOT permitted
  • Hair styles should be tidy and cut appropriately. A natural colour is required
  • Long hair should be tied up - This is partly for health and safety concerns, but also to reduce the spread of head lice
  • We do not allow headwear to be worn during class time or inside school buildings, except for religious or cultural reasons
PE Kits

Children should wear PE kit to school on the days they are timetabled and any time advised by their class teacher.

  • Black or navy sports shorts – N.B. – these need to be short and quite close fitting so that they do not catch on any equipment.
  • A plain white T-shirt – No emblems or logos please.
  • A pair of trainers or plimsolls. (Astro Turf trainers or football boots are not permitted)
  • Black, grey or navy tracksuit or jumper and jogging bottoms for outdoor games in colder weather. Again, no emblems or logos please. Jogging bottoms should not be so long as to present a tripping hazard.
Other

Bags & Rucksacks

  • A small rucksack/Navy Book Bag - Bosmere Book Bag or Bosmere rucksack are available from MyClothing.com, or Inces Stowmarket. Please do not store water bottles inside book bags. (Book bags can have one key ring for ease of identification)

Jewellery/Other items

  • Children are not allowed to wear any jewellery in school, other than for religious or cultural reasons 
  • 1 pair of small ear studs are permitted, except for P.E. lessons
  • Children who cannot put their own earrings back after P.E. should bring a container to take them home in. However, it is better if these children do not wear earrings on the day they do PE. Staff cannot be responsible for taking earrings out or putting them back in. (If you are thinking of having your child’s ears pierced, we strongly advise you to have them done at the start of the summer holiday, to allow six weeks healing time)
  • No tattoos, nail varnish or makeup
  • Small Watches may be worn but must be removed for PE. Smart watches (devices that have games, text, phone, or camera capabilities) are NOT permitted
  • Hair styles should be tidy and cut appropriately. A natural colour is required
  • Long hair should be tied up - This is partly for health and safety concerns, but also to reduce the spread of head lice
  • We do not allow headwear to be worn during class time or inside school buildings, except for religious or cultural reasons
Dressing for the weather

Children should come to school dressed appropriately for all weathers, as we aim to get the children outside every day.  They should have a coat with them in accordance with the weather forecast. In the summer, they should have a suitable cap/hat to protect them from the sun, and sun cream should be applied prior to the school day.  During the colder months, in addition to an appropriate coat, please feel free to send your child with a warm hat, scarf and gloves.
