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.
PE Kit
A house T shirt or white T-shirt, navy shorts/navy cycle shorts and trainers make up the basic PE kit, along with a plain dark blue or black tracksuit.
Football boots, tracksuits or leotards etc. may also be recommended for various activities. Your child’s class teacher will make you aware of any specific curriculum requirements at the beginning of each school year.
Swimming
Swimming takes place for all pupils in the second half of the summer term.
A towel, one piece swimming costume and hat should be provided. Inexpensive hats may be purchased from the school office.
Children should not wear trainer boots, cropped tops, cycling shorts or T shirts with large logos to school.
