School Uniform
From February 2018 our school uniform will be provided by a company called Shotbowl who are based in Market Deeping and have been supplying high quality, affordable school uniform to schools in and around Peterborough for many years. We feel confident they will deliver great products and a good service to our families.
Uniform is available from their shop as well as online from the Shotbowl website, www.shotbowl.co.uk where both a click and collect from shop or delivery option is available.
Please note that parent/carers are not obliged to purchase items showing the school logo and may continue to obtain items from elsewhere if they prefer.
UNIFORM & SCHOOL CLOTHING
We feel that it is important that children not only take pride in the appearance of the school, classroom, schoolwork etc., but also in their appearance. We encourage the wearing of the suggested school uniform below:-
| Girls | Boys |
| Grey or navy skirt, trousers or pinafore | Grey trousers |
| White blouse/polo shirt | White shirt/polo shirt |
| Navy sweatshirt or cardigan | Navy sweatshirt |
| Blue check dress for summer | Grey shorts |
| White/navy/black socks or tights | Grey/navy/black socks |
| Black shoes | Black shoes |
For safety reasons, shoes should have a low heel and must be appropriate for the occasion. Children are able to bring slippers into school if these are more comfortable for indoor use. This helps to keep the school floors and carpets clean – this is especially important in classrooms and the hall where children have to sit on the floor for specific parts of their lessons, or for assemblies.
It is also important for the children’s health and safety that their uniform fits correctly so it is comfortable and appropriate for daily school activities inside and outside. This includes the appropriate length of skirts and dresses.
Navy sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces, waterproofs and white polo shirts with the school's name embroidered on can be purchased from www.shotbowl.com
PE and Games Kit
- Plimsolls or trainers specifically for outside games use – bare feet for activities in the hall
- Navy blue shorts and a white T-shirt are preferred. Please refrain from sending children in football kits or inappropriate clothing for physical activity
- Swimming trunks/costume/hat and towel
- A tracksuit is very useful for winter
Please clearly label all your child's clothing and belongings. This will help us identify lost property.
Jewellery and other accessories
For Health and Safety reasons pupils should not wear jewellery to school. The only exception may be stud earrings – no hoops (these could cause a nasty accident if caught or snagged). For PE lessons and after school activity clubs, earrings should be removed. Children who cannot remove their own earrings should either leave them at home on days when they have PE or bring some micropore tape to school to cover them up.
The wearing of nail varnish and make-up is not considered to be appropriate for school. Exceptions may be on Mufti days or for other special events. Hairstyles should also be appropriate for school.
