The purpose of uniform is to show the outside world and ourselves our commitment to each other and the values that we hold dear.

Our school uniform should not be so expensive as to leave pupils or families feeling unable to wear it.  Therefore we do not expect any particularly branded or badged clothing.  Merely wearing the colour is sufficient.  Neither do we want individuals to feel discriminated or alienated by it.  This is why we do not specify gender specific items and are senitive to religious observance.

Where parents or children are finding uniform challenging, we invite them to speak to us so that resolutions can be found through a caring and supportive discussion.  Pre-loved uniforms are also available discretely through the school where this would be supportive.

Ulverley PE Kit 

With regards to PE kit, it is essential that all children have access to their PE kits at all times as it is an integral part of the curriculum. I would strongly recommend that all PE kit stays in school from the first day of the term until the last, or at least from Monday to Friday, so that children are ready for any possible timetable alterations.

Black shorts / tracksuit trousers / leggings

Black tracksuit top / sweatshirt / hoody

Please note that any child unable to do PE will be asked to act in a coaching / supporting way as part of the lesson.

Jewellery

In order to keep your child safe and well, we only allow stud earrings, which should be removable by the child for PE. If you are thinking of having your child’s ears pierced, we would respectfully ask that these get done at the start of the summer holidays so that they can do PE safely without their earrings in.

Items that are not part of the standard uniform, such as pin badges, are not permitted. This policy helps us maintain consistency and focus on learning without distractions.  Any child not wearing the appropriate uniform will be reminded of these expectations. If necessary, then the class teacher or myself may also speak to parents to explain why it is we expect these policies to be followed.  However, we are aware of the financial strains that uniform can place on families.  If it is difficult to meet these requirements, please come and talk to us so that we can help.
