Uniform

Children are encouraged to wear suitable clothing in the school colours. The school uniform consists of the following items:
  • purple sweater or cardigan with school logo
  • white polo shirt, (available with the school logo)
  • grey trousers or skirt/pinafore
  • black shoes or trainers
  • purple gingham dresses can be worn during the summer
School cardigans, sweatshirts, polo shirts and PE kit can be purchased at Whittaker’s Schoolwear in Farsley and PC Sports in Yeadon. It is essential that all school clothing is clearly marked with the child’s name. 

Children should not bring valuable personal items to school. For safety reasons we have a ‘no jewellery’ policy except that children may wear a watch and one pair of simple studs if ears are pierced. We feel that make-up and nail polish are inappropriate for school and therefore should not be worn. 

Children should have the following clothing for Physical Education which should be worn to school on PE days: 

Plain, unbranded shorts or leggings in either purple or a dark colour and a white t-shirt. Trainers should be worn and these can be in any colour. Cycling shorts may be worn but should at least mid-thigh length. Short pairs such as Nike Pro ones are not appropriate.
Plain jogging or tracksuit bottoms may be worn, as well as a school PE hoodie or a school jumper. Please note that during the spring term from Christmas until Easter, where children are participating in gymnastics lessons, they will need shorts or leggings for health and safety reasons but can wear joggers over the top during the day.
PE t-shirts and hoodies with the school logos are available from the uniform suppliers mentioned above.
PTA sell pre-loved uniform at various points throughout the year. We are happy for uniform with the old or new logo to be worn.
