# School Uniforms

### Why do we have a school uniform?

Our school policy for school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:

- Promotes a sense of pride in the school
- Engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school
- Is practical and smart
- Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
- Is regarded as suitable wear for school and is considered by parents as good value for money
- Is designed with health and safety in mind.

### The Mountford Manor Primary School uniform

- Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan.
- A red polo shirt.
- Black or grey trousers, skirt or dress.
- For summer months; red checked summer dress, black or grey shorts (optional).
- Sensible black footwear. (suitable school shoes or plain black trainers)

**Please ensure all items clothing items are labelled with your child's name so we can return any found clothing.**

### PE Kit

PE kits should be brought in a suitable named bag. Please label all clothing with your child's name.
The PE kit consists of:

- A white t-shirt.
- Black shorts./ cycling shorts
- A dark tracksuit (for colder winter months).
- Suitable daps or trainers.

**A lost property box is available in the school should any missing uniform items be recovered.**

If you are finding it hard to source or finance your child(ren)'s school uniform please contact the school 01793 536494 for support.

### Second-hand uniform

Purchasing second-hand school uniforms is budget-friendly and eco-conscious. Here are some suggestions:

- School Office / PTA: Check with the school office to find out how to purchase pre-loved uniform.
- Charity Shops: Visit local charity shops that may carry school uniforms.
- Online Marketplaces: Use sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and dedicated uniform exchange platforms.
- Community Groups: Join local social media groups where parents sell or trade uniforms.

These suggestions can help save money and support sustainability.

### Additional Notes

**Jewellery** should be kept to a minimum. It is fine to wear jewellery due to a religious belief.

**Earrings** should be small stud earrings. Hoop earrings are not allowed as they are a risk during PE lessons and at playtime.

**Nail varnish and makeup** are not permitted in school, unless with the express permission of the principal.

If, for cultural reasons, parents wish their child to wear a particular type of clothing during the school day, this is absolutely fine. Examples include a turban, headscarf, or a PE kit that includes longer length trousers.
