Uniform

School uniform

We see the wearing of our uniform as something to be proud of and as a statement of our work and life together as members of the school.

We aim as a school to produce a safe environment where everyone can learn and play in safety. Because of this, we have a policy about what additional jewellery, footwear and clothing for PE can be worn.

We expect pupils to wear school uniform. Parents can purchase school-specific items such as ties, T-shirts and jumpers with logos, etc from the School Shop, Beaconsfield New Town.  Non-specific clothing such as trousers and shirts may be bought from any shop selling children’s school uniform.

All items of uniform must be labelled with the child’s name.

The school uniform is:

PE Games Kit

The following items are essential and should be in school every day. They should be kept in a separate bag (PE bags are available from the School Shop):

·        White T-shirt − plain, or with school logo

·        Maroon shorts

·        White socks

·        Plimsolls

For outdoors:

·        Trainers

·        Football boots − needed when the field is wet and muddy

·        Black jogging bottoms

·        A school fleece

School specific T-shirts, shorts and fleeces can be purchased from the School Shop.

Jewellery

In general, we do not permit jewellery to be worn at school because there is a Health and Safety risk to the child wearing it and to others. We will allow small stud earrings and a small watch. 

We recognise that jewellery or clothing may have a religious significance. In this case they will be allowed, at the discretion of the Headteacher, but must be removed for PE. Parents must first make a request to the Head in writing.

For PE

·        Religious bracelets should be covered by a towelling sweatband 

·        Religious headdresses may be worn but in maroon or black, and must be removed for PE

·        Watches must be removed

·        Stud earrings must be taped over (parent to supply tape)

We encourage parents and carers to support in this policy to protect the health and safety of all our children and so that precious jewellery is not brought to school.
