Uniform
At Brinsworth Whitehill Primary School we believe that our children should be able to wear uniform that is affordable. Whilst branded items are available, these are not compulsory and parents/carers are free to purchase uniform from any suitable retailer.
We have a school uniform which all children should wear. It consists of:
- Black or grey trousers or skirt or tailored shorts
- White or pale blue polo shirt
- Royal blue jumper or cardigan with or without logo
- Flat plain black shoes or trainers with black laces / velcro (no trainers, heels or flip-flops)
- Blue gingham summer dresses can be worn during warmer months
We ask that all clothing is clearly marked with the child’s name, as a safeguard against problems arising from children having similar clothing.
PE Kit
For reasons of basic health and hygiene it is important that all children have a change of clothes and footwear for PE and games.
This should be:
- A plain white t-shirt (round neck)
- Plain black PE shorts
- A plain black or navy tracksuit is essential for outdoor games lessons which take place at ALL times during the school year
- Trainers or pumps
Valuables and Jewellery
Valuables should not be brought to school. The wearing of jewellery is discouraged in school, especially pierced earrings. Children who are wearing jewellery will not be allowed to participate in PE lessons. Jewellery and clothing worn as part of religious beliefs also need to meet the standards and if not, will be discussed with families. Pupils may be able to take part in PE wearing small ear studs, which need to be taped before school / by the child (at the discretion of the Sports Coach or Teacher).
Watches may be worn.
The wearing of nail varnish is not encouraged.
Uniform Suppliers
In order to assist parents and pupils in complying with the school’s uniform policy, we have identified the following recommended suppliers who we feel represent quality and value for money.
