Please find a copy of the School's Uniform Policy below:

This School Uniform Policy was developed in consultation with parents, staff, and governors.

School uniforms serve to give pupils a sense of identity, and a sense of belonging to a community. It helps to conceal differences in the financial circumstances of children and excludes some dress competition and excesses of fashion. Parents are urged to work in partnership with the school to ensure that standards are maintained.

It is our school policy that all children wear a school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside of normal school hours.

* Items with a school logo mentioned below are available from our school uniform supplier Example Schoolwear: Frisby CofE Primary School - Example Schoolwear

We intend to keep the use of branded items to a minimum, meaning that parents can buy most of our uniform items from a wide range of shops.

Frisby PTFA has established a system whereby pre-loved, secondhand items of clothing can be purchased. In cases of financial hardship, parents can appeal to the Headteacher for financial support to help with school uniform costs. Such cases will be treated with due sensitivity and confidence.

Note: If a pupil is wearing an item which is considered not to be part of our school uniform, the child will be given a reminder. Should the child continue to wear non-uniform items, then a note will be sent home outlining the need for parents to ensure their child only wears items which are part of the school uniform.

Uniform

• Emerald-green sweatshirt or cardigan with logo* 
• White shirt/blouse or polo shirt

A choice of any of the following:

• Plain grey trousers/formal school shorts (not sport or fashion)
• Plain grey knee-length skirt, without splits or decoration
• Plain grey pinafore dress
• Gingham green/white summer dresses
• Plain grey formal knee-length culottes

And:

• Grey, black or white socks/tights
• Plain black lace-up or slip-on shoes in a formal style (with low heels no more than 5cm in height). Please note that boots, trainers, crocs, or sling back shoes are not permitted.

PE Kit

• Emerald-green T-shirt with logo*
• Plain black shorts including cycling shorts
• Plain black tracksuit bottoms or leggings
• Black hoodie, plain or with logo*
• Flat trainers/plimsolls.

Swimming (Year 3 and 4 pupils during Summer Term)

• A one-piece swimming costume or trunks and a towel. No shorts or bikinis are allowed.

We feel that the correct kit for PE lessons is important, and we trust parents will support us in this matter. Kit should be stored in school in a small, clearly named bag on a child’s peg.

Jewellery

Pupils may wear a watch (no smart watches) or a fitbit/sports tracker and one set of plain studs in the ears, but no other jewellery is permitted due to health and safety issues and liability in case of loss.

It is our intention that NO jewellery (including earrings) be worn in PE activities. Children who cannot remove their own earrings should learn to do so or have them removed before they attend school on their PE day. If pupils wish to have their ears pierced, they should arrange this at the beginning of the summer holidays so that the wound has sufficient time to heal.

Where it is not possible for a child to remove their earrings for the start of a PE session, taping over earrings must be utilised to enable participation. This should be done before children arrive at school. Staff are not required to remove or tape up earrings for students.

Protection from the sun

Please provide sun-cream and a sunhat during hot weather. Children will need to be able to apply their own sun-cream. Roll-on sun cream is recommended. (See Sun Protection Policy.)

Adverse weather footwear

Pupils should wear boots/wellingtons to school in adverse weather and bring their indoor shoes to change into. UGG and UGG-style boots are not suitable.

Hairstyles

Hairstyles should not be extreme in either style or colour. Parents should consult the school if they are unsure of the suitability of a change of style/colour. The school shall be the arbiter of the term ‘extreme’.

Plain hair bands – green/black/brown or white. Fashion hair bands are not permitted. All long hair must be tied back with a bobble for PE. No clips, grips or headbands may be worn in PE.

Make-up

Nail polish is not permitted. Pupils are not allowed to wear any make-up, body art transfers, or tattoos.

Special Consideration

Parents can apply in writing to the Headteacher who is willing to consider reasonable requests for flexibility in the uniform policy for an individual pupil to accommodate their religion or belief, ethnicity, disability, or other special circumstances.
