Revised school uniform covering COVID-19

We are asking children to come to school wearing;

  • Navy or black leggings/jogging bottoms with black trainers (Trainers with no obvious bright logos. Brightly coloured laces are not permitted). If your child is unable to tie laces please provide them with footwear with a Velcro fastening
  • Pearl Hyde light blue polo shirt and navy jumper/cardigan/fleece with the school logo
  • Navy/black shorts or skorts can be worn if the weather is warm.
    • Light blue gingham dress or skort is allowed.
  • Children are not allowed to bring PE bags to school. We therefore need them dress appropriately to participate in any PE/outdoor lessons.
  • These sessions are likely to fall on different days of the week, depending on the weather. The easiest solution in these circumstances, is for the children to come to school each day, dressed ready to be active.
  • Jewellery or make-up is not permitted with the exception of a watch; children with pierced ears may wear one sleeper or stud in the lobe of each ear. Exceptions will be made for those children who have to wear religious adornments as long as it adheres to the health and safety policy
  • Parents are asked to ensure children’s hair styles are appropriate for school. Extremes of hairstyle including bright colours, tramlines and shaved heads are not permitted.
  • For safety reasons all long hair needs to be tied back with a blue or black bobble. Plain black or blue headbands may also be worn.
  • Parents/Carers of all children are asked to ensure that all clothing is named. We have ceased operating a lost property system due to the build-up of clothing left behind on a daily basis
  • NON-SCHOOL UNIFORM BIRTHDAYS
    • Children are allowed to wear suitable clothes of their choice on their birthday. Children who have a birthday over the weekend or holiday can wear their suitable clothes of their choice either on the Friday before or Monday after the weekend/holiday.

As the weather becomes colder please ensure your child has a warm, waterproof coat, gloves, hat and scarf.
This policy is subject to review as we move into our ‘new normal’

Children will need to bring their PE kit to school EVERYDAY in a named drawstring bag. At times when working in the hall children may work in bare feet. We ask that children do not wear ear-rings to school on the days they have PE. Children will also need to remove their watches before a PE lesson; school can take no responsibility should the watches be mislaid. As the policy states for safety reasons long hair must be tied back.

Parents/carers of all children are asked to ensure that all clothing is named so that lost items can be quickly returned to their owner!

Non-School Uniform Birthdays

Children are allowed to wear non-school uniform if their birthday falls on a school day. Children who have a birthday over the weekend or holiday can wear their own clothes either on the Friday before or Monday after the weekend/holiday.
