Uniform

It is expected that all children will wear school uniform, as outlined below.

Accessible for All

We ensure that the cost to families is minimal. We do this by:

  • having second hand uniform available through our PTA;
  • accepting plain red jumpers for Reception to Y5 and plain royal blue jumpers for Y6 pupils; 
  • having access to the Shelford School Support Fund for families finding costs challenging (approach the Headteacher in confidence to access this);
  • working with charities and partners - such as John Huntingdon Charity

School Sweatshirt or Cardigan

Pupils from Reception to Year 5 wear a red school sweatshirt or cardigan.  Year 6 wear royal blue.  This helps them to be identified easily for all the helper roles they perform in school. Many families opt for the sweatshirt with the embroidered school crest, but plain versions are also acceptable.

Orders for school sweatshirts can be made through Brigade Limited online (see below).

Polo Shirts

White polo shirts embroidered with the school crest are available. Meanwhile, plain white polo shirts are also acceptable. 

Orders for school polo shirts can be made through Brigade Limited online (see below).

Skirt/Dresses/Trousers/Short

All skirts, pinafore dresses, trousers and shorts should be charcoal grey colour.

Summer dresses should be red striped or red checked fabric.

Other items

Other items of clothing should be in plain colours and appropriate for a working day at school. For example socks that are white, grey or black. 

Low heeled black shoes.  No trainers please.
