School Uniform

At Headlands Primary School we have the highest of standards in all that we do and we take real pride in our appearance.

Our aim is to make our uniform accessible to all pupils and their families and which represents value for money.  We are committed to supporting families experiencing hardship and encourage parents to shop around to find best value.  If you would like further information on how we can support you please speak to your child's class teacher.

We also provide the opportunity to purchase pre-loved uniform at a cost of £1 per item. If you wish to purchase any items or have any questions regarding this please contact c  who will be happy to help. Please be aware that we rely entirely on donations so we may experience shortages of some items.  Donations are always gratefully received and can be handed in to the school office.  

Please see below for a summary of our current uniform requirements.

Clothing items with the school logo on are available to purchase from Stevensons (please see below for details).

Please note: Jelly shoes, boots and trainers (other than for PE) are not allowed to be worn during the school day.

Hair accessories should be minimal and preferably in school colours. Hair should be kept out of children's eyes using headbands, clips and slides; again preferably using school colours. If your child has shoulder length hair, for health and safety reasons, we request that it is tied back in a ponytail. If you wish your child to wear a headscarf for religious reasons, then this item must be royal or navy blue. Headscarves must not have any embellishments, such as diamante decoration.

PE Kit

Blue shorts and a coloured t-shirt to represent the house your child is in:-

• Cedar House - Green

• Cherry House - Red

• Birch House - Blue

• Oak House - Yellow

Plimsolls or trainers (for outdoor games). In winter, plain black or grey tracksuit trousers and sweatshirt are also recommended.

Please note that all children in Woodlands wear a green t-shirt for PE.

Swimming

Swimming is a crucial life skill which is why it is compulsory in the national curriculum for primary-age pupils. It is therefore extremely important that children arrive at school with their swimming kit. Please note that the correct kit is as follows:-

• Boys - Lycra swimming trunks (shorts are not permitted) and swimming hat

• Girls - One piece costume and swimming hat

Swimming hats are issued when your child starts school. Should you need a replacement hat these can be purchased via your class teacher for 50p. Jewellery is not permitted.

Jewellery

For safety reasons, jewellery is not expected to be worn although watches are permitted. If your child has pierced ears, then one pair of studs is acceptable. We expect that if children have their ears pierced, then this should be done at the start of the summer holidays so that they can be removed independently by the child when they return to school. All jewellery must be removed before any PE lessons.

Makeup

Children are not permitted to wear any type of makeup including nail varnish.
