Uniform
We consider it important that our pupils are smartly dressed and believe a uniform looks smart and adds to the children’s sense of identify and belonging at school. Parental support in this respect is greatly appreciated. Our School Uniform Policy can be found here.
We have two suppliers from which you can purchase items of school uniform which require a school logo from: these are listed below. Additionally, all plain items of clothing are available at many high street retailers or supermarkets. Second hand uniform is available to purchase from our school office.
You can visit Skoolkit on Endless Street in Salisbury - here our uniform is available to view and try on. You can also order from them at the following link - https://www.skoolkit.co.uk/school-uniform/1504

Black trainers can also be worn as school shoes, however these must be plain black and free of any coloured logos
Following county policy, gymnastics & dance are usually performed in bare feet for greater control, agility & safety; children with verrucas must wear trainers or plimsolls.
Football boots and shin pads will not be needed for games lessons, but are essential for after school football training and matches.
Every child must have a special apron/shirt, for art and craft activities, that will cover their clothing. An adult's shirt can easily be adapted for this purpose although a waterproof garment is best.
Lost property is stored in bins in the cloakroom and is placed outside on tables from time to time so that parents may identify anything which belongs to their children. Any unnamed items left at the end of each of the six terms is disposed of.
Children are not permitted to wear shoes with platforms and / or high heels. Sandals may be worn in the summer but must be a substantial type and safe for running about at playtime.
Children are not permitted to have coloured hair or wear nail varnish.
For reasons of safety, jewellery, except for stud earrings, should not be worn in school. If stud earrings cannot be removed for PE activities and playtimes, because they have recently been fitted, parents must supply sticky plasters to cover the earrings. Watches may be worn - no smart watches.
