School Uniform Policy

Principles

Our policy is that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos. We also believe that certain school activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing (including organised events outside normal school hours).

Aims

Our policy is based on the belief that a school uniform:

·          promotes a sense of pride in the school

·          engenders a feeling of belonging

·          is practical and distinctive

·          identifies the children with the school

·          is not distracting in class (as fashion clothing might be)

·          makes children feel equal to one another in terms of appearance

·          reflects the sense both of community and of diversity that the school takes pride in

·          is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents.

All children (Reception – Year 6) need:

·          Navy blue Thomas Fairchild crew neck sweat shirt or cardigan

·          Sky blue Thomas Fairchild polo t-shirt

·          Navy blue/grey/black school trousers/skirt/pinafore dress

·          (Jogging bottoms and leggings are not part of our school uniform)

·          White/navy blue/black socks

·          Black flat sensible school shoes (shoes must be plain with no coloured logos, plain black trainers are acceptable)

·          Navy blue Thomas Fairchild book bag.

·          Summer Uniform: girls may wear a blue gingham dress and both

·          girls & boys may wear navy blue/black shorts

·          Optional Navy blue Thomas Fairchild zip fleece and waterproof jacket can also be worn.

For PE all children (Reception – Year 6) need:

·          White Thomas Fairchild T-shirt with logo

·          Navy PE shorts or track-suit bottoms

·          Black plimsolls/trainers

·          Thomas Fairchild gym bag to keep these in at school.

PE Kit should be worn for After School sporting clubs. All PE kits should be free from any logo or brand name, apart from the school logo.

All clothing should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.  

This is important as uniform items look the same and can easily be confused for another child’s clothing.   The school cannot accept responsibility for any lost items.
