We are very proud of our school and want all children who attend to have a real sense of being part of the school community. One aspect of this sense of belonging is wearing the school uniform. It also removes the added pressure on children (and their parents) of wearing the latest fashion item!
We also welcome good quality used uniform and encourage parents to make use of this facility. Children grow very quickly and rather than buy new items, why not donate your used items and swap for the next size up for a small donation to the school's funds? This uniform exchange is easily accessible in the school's entrance.
Our uniform with logos can be purchased from school-shop.co.uk
There is no requirement to wear branded items and items without the school logo can be bought from other outlets, such as supermarkets.
Please make sure all clothing worn to school, including PE kit, is labelled clearly with your child's name.

At our school, we firmly believe that play is an essential part of children's development. Through
our OPAL programme, we are committed to providing high-quality, active, creative and engaging
play opportunities every day and we want all children to feel comfortable, confident and ready to
make the most of these experiences. As a result, we have signed the pledge to join the
https://activeuniform.org/
To support this, we are encouraging a more active style of uniform. The main change is that
dark-coloured joggers are now encouraged as an alternative to traditional school trousers
and skirts. We have found that children are often more able to run, climb, explore and
participate fully in outdoor play when wearing practical, comfortable clothing. In addition,
children may wear dark coloured polo shirts as part of their uniform, not just for PE.
This is not a significant change to our uniform and the overall appearance of our school
community will remain smart and consistent. We simply want to ensure that children's clothing
supports the active, healthy and adventurous play experiences that OPAL promotes.
In addition to the guidelines above, children may therefore wear:
• Dark-coloured joggers (black or dark grey)
• Dark coloured polo shirts
• Existing school trousers
• Existing school skirts
• Dark coloured trainers
All other uniform expectations remain unchanged.
Children are also strongly encouraged to bring wellies into school.
