School Uniform
We have a school uniform, which we ask all children to wear. We feel that this helps to promote a sense of identity and belonging.
The school colours are royal blue and white/light-blue. Sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces and book bags in the school colours and with the school badge are available for purchase from the school.
You can order uniform here on our website. The School Office will contact you regarding payment and collection.
FAQs
We asked our experts, the parents:
1. What size sweatshirt/cardigan does/did your child wear in Reception year?
2. How many sweatshirts/cardigans do you think a Robin needs for Reception?
3. If you tumble-dry, do the sweatshirts/cardigans shrink at all?

Summary: parents seem to generally favour two or three ‘size 24’ (or sometimes 26) sweatshirts/cardigans for the Reception year.
Other items of school uniform are a light-blue or white polo shirt, white or light-blue blouses or shirts, grey or black skirts, pinafores, trousers or shorts, black leggings and a light-blue gingham dress option. Plain black trainers or shoes can be worn. Sometimes we ask the children to wear a plain t-shirt of their house-team colour, for example at sports events.
Please ensure all belongings and uniform are clearly labelled with your child’s name. ‘Lost property’ doesn’t happen if everything is labelled. Although there are many other companies available, ‘My Nametags’ do colourful iron-on and stick-on tags that will not only safeguard expensive clothing and shoes, but have the potential to raise funds for the school; 20% of spend in fact! If you do order on www.MyNametags.com please input the School ID 30018 when proceeding to the checkout. Please note that if a parent uses the school name instead of the ID number when ordering online, the website will not recognise our school and we will not be credited. One of our mums writes, “I have used these labels since [my son] started nursery and they are excellent. I have never had problems with them as they stick to anything”.
Children should not wear or bring anything into school that may be a danger to themselves or others.
