Uniform Policy Hersden
Our school uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of our school. We ask you to respect and support our policy and in doing so ensure that your child comes to school wearing the correct uniform and be of smart personal appearance.
At Water Meadows we have thought carefully about our school uniform and have chosen it to be comfortable and practical for primary aged children whilst also being affordable for families. The sweatshirt/cardigan is the only part of the school uniform that requires the school logo , which means that many other items can be purchased in supermarkets and children’s clothes shops, as well as the Mapac online shop.
Hersden Village Primary School uniform remains acceptable for children on roll pre July 2019

A non-uniform day allows a child to express his/her individuality through their attire. The expectation is for the child to wear garments that fit appropriately and are non-offensive. Any article of clothing that is deemed inappropriate for a non-uniform day, will result in the child being required to change into school uniform.
Sometimes for school trips other clothing is requested, please consider appropriateness for the weather conditions expected.
