The Department for Education has published updated guidance on school uniform, reinforcing the responsibilities of governing boards to ensure uniform policies are lawful, inclusive, affordable and practical.
'Branded' items are denoted below in italics - please note that 'branded'can include logo and/or particular colours.
Our school policy is being shared with Governors in the Autumn Term, with no changes in uniform being made as we currently meet Department for Education guidance..

Uniform in Nursery is entirely optional although most parents do find it more convenient, and therefore it is worn by most children.

General Presentation
- Hair longer than shoulder length should be tied back.
- Jewellery is not allowed in school, except for watches, which have to be removed for PE, games and swimming etc., so please ensure they are not valuable.
- If parents want to have their children’s ears pierced, this should be done at the beginning of the Summer holiday, so that by the time the Autumn term starts, studs may be removed. Any child who has not followed this advice will be asked to remove any earrings during the school day. If a child cannot remove his/her own earrings they will be asked to put a plaster over them, to avoid any potential accidents in the playground.
If families need support with the cost of uniform, we would invite them to speak with us where support can be given.
