Uniform Information

We encourage the wearing of school uniform as this supports the children in coming to school ready to learn, and we appreciate your help in maintaining our standards. In line with government guidelines, our uniform expectations are kept simple and affordable to ensure all families can access required items easily.

 

You can read the full guidance here: 

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cost-of-school-uniforms/cost-of-school-uniforms 

 

The only items that we ask to include the school logo are the school jumper or cardigan and the School House Team PE T‑shirt - and can be purchased from Screens Schoolwear. All other items may be purchased from any retailer. A logo PE hoodie and school book bag are optional extras.

 

Everyday School Uniform:

  • Black or dark grey trousers or tailored shorts
  • Knee‑length skirts, pinafores or dresses
  • Blue and white chequered dresses (summer)
  • White polo shirt, white shirt or blouse
  • Blue school jumper or cardigan with logo (required)
  • Black flat shoes with black, grey or white socks or tights

 

PE:

  • School House Team coloured T‑shirt with school logo (required)
  • Plain black shorts or plain black track suit bottoms (no designer brands, please)
  • Black trainers
  • School jumper for outdoor PE or a plain navy‑blue hoodie may be worn instead of purchasing the PE hoodie.

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on their allocated days.

 

School Houses

 

The school house teams are as follows:

  • Wentworth – Green
  • Crabbe - Red
  • Garrett – Blue
  • Fawcett - Yellow

 

Hair, Make up & Jewellery

 

Hair should be neat and tidy. Long hair should be tied back fully. Alice bands, clips and hair bands are permitted. Nail polish, lipstick, eye shadow etc. is not permitted. No jewellery is permitted other than a single pair of plain studs for pupils with pierced ears or for religious reasons. Earrings must be removed before PE, so please ensure that your child is able to take out their own earrings or alternatively remove them at the morning of the school.

 

Swimming

 

The children will need the following equipment, preferably in a P.E. Bag or plastic carrier bag.  Please label all items. (The school adheres to Suffolk County Council guidelines with regard to the wearing of goggles and swimming hats).

  • One piece swimming costume or a pair of trunks or shorts (not baggy swimming shorts)
  • Swimming hat
  • Towel
  • Brush or comb
  • Goggles – if you wish your child to wear these please send a letter stating why to the school, to be forward to the Leiston Leisure Centre
  • Children with long hair should have their hair tied back or plaited
  • If worn, earrings must be removed
  • Medi-alert bracelets may be covered with a sweat band in order to reduce any risk to the wearer or other pool users
  • If your child has a verruca they will need to wear a plastic sock to prevent the spread of infection

If your child is unable to swim for any reason i.e. medical, the class teacher will require a letter.  Swimming is part of their curriculum timetable.

 

ALL CLOTHING MUST BE CLEARLY NAMED

Pre-loved second-hand uniform is available for purchase from the school office. 

 

If your child has outgrown any items of uniform that are still in good condition — especially school logo jumpers or cardigans — we would be delighted to receive them as donations. Your generosity helps other families and supports our school community. Thank you so much!
