Uniform and Dress

At Newburgh C.E. Primary School, we recognise the importance in ensuring that pupils are well-presented at all times. Pupils wear a school uniform, not only to ensure that they are comfortable and ideally-equipped for their daily activities, but also to enable them to take pride in belonging to our school community.

It is also important to promote independence with our children so that they can manage their own clothes and shoes. Please consider this when purchasing uniform (especially shoes with laces).

Below is a list of the items needed for the children's school uniform. Items of uniform embroidered wit the school logo are available to purchase via Premier Sports (details below). Items of clothing that are not embroidered with the school logo may be purchased through any retailer. Pre-loved uniform is available from our school with any voluntary contributions going to our P.T.A. Please contact the school office for this.

Please ensure all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name. It is impossible to tell uniform apart and items will go missing if not named.

Winter:

Polo-shirts - white with or without school motif. Year 6 only - yellow polo shirt.
Grey shorts/trousers or grey skirt/pinafore/culottes.
Navy pullover, cardigan or sweatshirt with school motif. Year 6 only - blue sweatshirt.

Please ensure your child has a suitable winter coat and hat.

Summer:

As winter, if desired OR shorts - traditional grey.
Dresses - blue/white small check or narrow stripe
Socks/tights - grey, white, navy or black.
Polo-shirts - white with or without school motif. Year 6 only - yellow polo shirt.

Also please supply your child with a bucket style sun hat and sun cream during warm weather. The apply once a day sun creams are particularly good and it saves children re-applying.

In Foundation Stage (Nursery & Reception) and Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2) we request that children have a pair of wellingtons in school at all times and a pair of jogging bottoms to slip on over their clothes for outdoor work. School will provide each child with waterproof trousers if the weather is very wet.

Physical Education:

Navy shorts (not Bermuda type),
White T-shirt with school motif
Pumps (not trainers).

Outdoor Games (Years 1-6 only):

Summer - PE kit and trainers

Winter - Football/Netball kit with boots/trainers, old tracksuit or sweater. Hooded tops with school motif are available.

PLEASE put your child's name on EVERY item of clothing, It is of great assistance to teachers to be able to identify items of clothing quickly.

For reasons of safety, jewellry, including earrings is NOT allowed, but the wearing of one pair of plainstuds is permitted. These MUST be removed by the child for P.E., games and swimming and we ask that children not wear any earrings on those days (Mon/Tues for Crane, Halton & Lucas; Weds/Fri for Rigby and Thurs/Fri for Venables. Swimming is Thursday). Please do not have children's ears pierced at the beginning of a term when they will be unable to remove studs for swimming.

Wellingtons may be worn to school but children MUST bring a pair of shoes which they can wear in school. Trainers, Crocs or Boots are not suitable for school.

Hair: Long hair should be tied back.
