It is important that all pupils wear the correct school uniform. Abbotsweld school uniform:  

  • Promotes a sense of pride in the school;
  • Fosters a feeling of community and belonging;
  • Is practical and smart and sets a high standard of appearance for all;
  • Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance.

  • White polo shirt/shirt with school logo or plain white polo shirt (no red polo shirts)
  • Red sweatshirt or cardigan with school logo or a plain red cardigan

Ensure that  you and your child are aware of the days they have P.E. Your child will come to school dressed in the correct P.E kit (all items clearly labelled)every time they have P.E. If a child comes to school dressed in their P.E kit on the wrong day, parents/carers will have to bring their school uniform to school to get changed. Regularly check labels as children might take off their sweatshirts at times.

 

Other Equipment needed

  • Your child will also need a school bag

Labelling Clothes

Use sew in or iron on name labels in EVERYTHING! 30 red sweatshirts look the same and often pen becomes illegible or wears off after a few washes! Please check your child's uniform and P.E kit regularly as we cannot spend time searching for lots property. 

If your child is in Reception or cannot do their own laces up, buy shoes with Velcro straps until your child is confident doing buckles for laces.

How much uniform to buy?

Many parents have asked for guidance on this.  Questions to ask;

  1. How messy are your children?
  2. How often do you wash?

We’d recommend having at least;

  • 4 polo shirts
  • 2 pairs of trousers/skirts/dresses
  • 2 sweatshirts/cardigans
  • PE kits – 1 set is usually enough as children keep them in school and they only come home for washing at the end of each half term.
