Uniform
The Governors of the school have approved the following school uniform:
- Grey, black or navy trousers or skirts
- Red or royal blue sweatshirts or cardigans with the school logo
- Plain red or royal blue cardigans/jumpers
- White, pale blue or grey shirts/blouses
- White, pale blue or red polo shirts
- Sensible shoes/sandals in any dark colour are to be worn in school - no trainers or shoes/boots with high heels, jelly shoes or mules.
- Trainers are to be worn at break times.
- In bad weather, if your child wears Wellingtons, please provide alternative footwear for use within school.
All items of school clothing, including sweatshirts and polo shirts with our logo, can be purchased locally from "Uniformality" in Borrowash. There is an ever increasing range of school products available including hats, fleeces and school bags. All the products are hardwearing and represent excellent value for money.
Morley's of Chilwell (with shops in Heanor and Chaddesden) also carry our school range if these are more convenient outlets for you.
Although not compulsory, we think the children look very smart in their uniforms. All clothing should be named using name tapes. Iron-on tapes or woven sew-on tapes can be bought/ordered from either Morley's or Busy Hands.
Art
For art activities your child will need an old shirt with the sleeves shortened or an old, adult sized T-shirt.
P.E. Kit
The following clothing will be required for P.E.
- Red white or blue T-shirt and navy or black shorts. Football strips are not allowed.
- Plimsolls for indoor activities - children will do indoor activities in bare feet if they do not have Plimsolls.
- Spare pair of socks

- During cold weather a tracksuit will also be needed as we try to go outside for most games lessons.
- Stud ear-rings must be removed for PE and stored in your child's tray along with watches.
School staff cannot take any responsibility for lost items.
All the above items should be clearly marked with your child's name and should be brought to school in a P.E. bag with your child's name clearly marked on it.
