Monks Orchard Primary School

School Uniform Statement

May 2018

The Governors and Staff of Monks Orchard Primary believe that it is important for our school that the appearance of our children is of a high standard.

A school uniform looks smart, contributes to a sense of belonging and community, makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance and fosters a feeling of pride.

We therefore ask you to support the school by making sure you adhere to our School Uniform Statement

The Department for Education says “The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.”

(School uniform Guidance for governing bodies, school leaders, school staff and local authorities September 2013)

All our children are expected to wear the school uniform, as listed below:

Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan with school logo

Light blue polo shirt with school logo

Grey trousers or knee length shorts (not sports shorts)

Navy blue skirt

Navy blue pinafore dress

Navy blue gingham summer dress

Black, grey or white plain socks

Navy tights woollen style only

Sensible supportive black shoes (not trainers)

PE kit:

Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan, with school logo

Light blue polo shirt, with school logo

Plain navy blue jogging bottoms or sports shorts

Trainers (dark and as plain as possible no fluorescent colours)

No visible branding is permitted.  

The only exception is the school logo which we expect all children to wear on sweatshirts, cardigans and polo shirts

Jewellery is not part of the school uniform and we strongly discourage the wearing of jewellery, including earrings, ear studs and any kind of nail accessory.

Children may wear a simple wrist watch, but not a smart watch (eg. Apple Watch) Fitbit or other similar devices.

Discrete headbands and hair accessories are acceptable in the school colour of blue.

The school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any items brought to school.

Please ensure that all items of clothing and PE kit are labelled with your child's name
