School Uniform

All children in Reception to Year 6 are expected to wear school uniform as detailed below.  Nursery children are not expected to wear uniform.  Parents may select uniform according to their child's preference from the list below.  We have no specific requirements for uniform depending on the weather but ask that parents always ensure their children will be warm enough during outside playtimes.

Uniform items may be purchased from any high street store, supermarket or other supplier. Logo embroidered uniform can be purchased from Marks and Spencer on www.mandsyourschooluniform.com.  We also have links with a local 'LS12 School Uniform Scheme' who can provide parents with second hand uniform at no cost.  Parents can message the scheme via their Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/LS12UniformScheme/

Parents are requested to label all clothing with their child’s name.

PE Kit

It is important that your child is properly dressed for Physical Education.  A complete change of clothing must be provided for all PE lessons.  The children will be aware of the days of their lessons and will be expected to have the correct clothing.  Parents will be informed if their child repeatedly fails to have the correct clothing.  Children without their own PE kit will be given school kit to wear.  If you are unsure of which days you child has PE then please speak to the class teacher or telephone the school office.
