At St. Stephen’s Church of England Primary School, we believe that the wearing of a school uniform enables children to identify with their school, gives a sense of pride and belonging, is practical, smart, reinforces a positive work ethos & reduces expenditure for parents/carers.
 
‘Active School Uniform’

 

This is designed to support a more physically active and inclusive school day, which allows pupils to come to school dressed in comfortable, sport-friendly clothing, eliminating the need for a separate PE kit entirely.  Uniform requirements are:

  • burgundy school jumper or cardigan with our school logo on  
  • a light blue school polo shirt 
  • BLACK PLAIN jogging bottoms/tracksuit bottoms or leggings (shorts in summer)
  • a pair of trainers as footwear - Dark coloured trainers would be preferred.

The school sweatshirt/cardigan is the only branded item of uniform which is compulsory and these can be purchased from our uniform supplier, Emblematic. Please visit: https://studentuniform.co.uk/wilps080/ 

All other items can be bought from any supermarket or clothing store and do not need to have the school logo on. Parents do have the option to purchase branded items such as polo shirts, coats etc. from our uniform supplier however these are not compulsory as items can be purchased at a reduced cost elsewhere.

 

Jewellery

On Health & Safety grounds, children are not permitted to wear jewellery to school apart from a watch (no smart watches or expensive brands as school will accept no responsibility for loss or damage).

Children are allowed to wear small stud pierced earrings but we insist that these MUST be small and have a flat back.

Parents & carers are reminded that if they should wish for their child to have their ears pierced, then it is best to be done at the beginning of the 6 weeks holiday in order that they can be healed by the beginning of the Autumn term and they will then be able to wear flat back earrings.

Nail varnish, false nails, make up, hair dye or temporary tattoos must not be worn for school.

Ensuring that uniform is affordable for families is a key priority and in order to offer the best value for money we will continue to regularly review our uniform suppliers.

We do hold a selection of ‘pre-loved’ uniform, which will be an opportunity for families to access good quality used school uniform at reduced cost or no cost.  Please contact the school office for further information.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
