School Uniform

A high standard of personal appearance is required of all children. The St. Andrew’s School Governors expect children to wear uniform in school and ask parents to fully support this expectation. The aim of our uniform policy is to:

  • encourage pride in belonging to St. Andrew’s CE Primary School
  • enable children to be comfortable, safe and secure
  • protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way
  • encourage a sense of equality and cohesion
  • support teaching and learning

Long hair should be tied back and extreme haircuts are not permitted.

One pair of SMALL STUD earrings are permitted but will need to be REMOVED BY THE CHILD for PE and swimming lessons.

WINTER UNIFORM

  
  • Blue school sweatshirt, cardigan or fleece with St. Andrew’s logo
  • White or Royal Blue polo shirt or White shirt (polo shirts with the school logo are available but not compulsory)
  • Mid grey skirt, trousers or pinafore dress
  • White/grey tights or socks
  • Indoor shoes, black plimsolls (not slippers)
  • Sturdy/sensible black flat/low heeled shoes (not trainers) with laces, buckles or velcro  

SUMMER UNIFORM

  

As Winter plus:

  • Blue/white check dress
  • Mid-grey shorts

PE/SWIMMING

 
  • PE BAG
  • Plain Dark navy shorts (not cycling shorts) – No branded items
  • White T-shirt, plain or with St Andrew’s logo
  • Plain Dark navy tracksuit for Winter/outdoor games
  • Trainers for outdoor PE
  • One piece swimming costume or swimming shorts, no longer than the knee
  • Swimming hats must be worn by all children in the pool

 

Although set days are allocated for PE lessons, there are other times within the week where PE may take place. Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school every day to guarantee they do not miss out on these opportunities. We recommend PE kits are brought to school on a Monday and taken home on a Friday.

To order uniform, please visit the on-line shop at https://www.earthuniform.com or follow the link on the school website. Samples are available in the school reception should you wish to try them for size before ordering. If everyone ensures the uniform guidelines are followed it supports parents when children ask to wear items outside of the policy e.g. black trainers instead of school shoes. If you do  need clarification regarding uniform requirements, please ask your child’s class teacher or the school office.

Thank you for your support in maintaining standards at St Andrew’s school.
