School Uniform

All pupils are expected to wear Stanway Primary School uniform.  As a member of the school, students will develop a sense of pride in themselves and their uniform.  Parental cooperation is essential to achieve this aim.

The company offer next day despatch on orders placed by noon (Monday – Friday) with free delivery on all orders over £50 + VAT. Delivery charges on smaller orders start at £3.00 + VAT with a range of delivery options available.

There is a dedicated customer service department and the website provides comprehensive size charts for you.  We do also hold samples of the uniform at school so you are able to check the measurements and fit of the clothing.

Jewellery

Children should not wear jewellery at school.  Rings, chains and bracelets are not appropriate for primary school wear as they can cause accidents.  We will not be held responsible for any loss or damage incurred if your child brings jewellery to school.

If your child has pierced ears, a small plain stud is acceptable, but these will need to be removed by the child for all forms of PE.  If a child is unable to remove their own studs, they will not be able to take part in PE lessons. If you are planning to have your child’s ears pierced, this should be done at the beginning of the summer holidays.

Naming of clothing

We encourage parents to name all items of clothing with sewn in name tags or permanent pen.

Inclusivity

Stanway Primary School fully endorses the principle that the school’s uniform should be affordable for everyone, ensuring that no pupil or family is socially excluded through inability to buy.  Accordingly, the majority of the uniform can be brought ‘off the peg’ from any high street outlet or supermarket; the only items which need to be purchased from our supplier are sweatshirts and cardigans. Stanway Primary School is committed to an annual appraisal of the uniform cost in order to ensure that it continues to be affordable for everyone.

Enforcement of Uniform Policy

We have clear expectations for uniform, jewellery and PE kit and will strongly enforce these expectations.  The Headteacher, on behalf of the Governing Body, will make the final decision regarding what is permissible in school.  Children attending school wearing items which flout this policy, and are considered to be a Health and Safety risk, may be sent home to change or remove items.
