Dunton Bassett Primary School
Uniform Information
At Dunton Bassett Primary School we believe that a school uniform is important because it:
-
looks smart
-
contributes to a sense of belonging
-
gives a common purpose
-
fosters a feeling of pride
All children are requested to wear the uniform and we encourage them to maintain an acceptable standard of clean and tidy dress in school. It is readily available and inexpensive.
Our school uniform comprises:
-
Red cardigan or sweatshirt with school logo (or plain red with no logos)
-
Plain white shirt or white/red polo shirt
-
Grey or black trousers
-
Grey or black skirt
-
Waterproof outdoor coat
-
Sensible flat or low-heeled black shoes (no open-toed sandals); trainers for sports only.
Variations for summer wear are:
-
Grey or black shorts
-
Red/white checked dress
PE Kit
For health and safety reasons, it is essential that children are dressed appropriately for any physical activity. Our PE kit is:
-
School PE top (with logo)
-
Plain black shorts
-
Plimsolls for playground games or hall use if unable to work in bare feet
-
Trainers for outdoor games on the field
-
In Winter: Plain grey/black tracksuit or sweatshirt/leggings
PE kit should be kept in a named bag. The kit should be brought into school on Monday morning and kept in school all week; it can be taken home at weekends and the end of term to be washed.
Swimming
Children who go swimming need a towel and swimming trunks or one-piece costume (no bikinis), carried in a waterproof bag. Children with shoulder length hair or longer require a swimming hat which can be purchased from the school office.
Jewellery
For safety reasons, children are not permitted to wear jewellery in school (a sensible watch is allowed).
All jewellery should be removed for PE. Ear rings should be small studs ones which children can easily remove themselves. Adults are not allowed to help.
If a child needs to wear a piece of jewellery for medical or religious reasons that cannot be removed it must be covered up by the child, using their own plasters, during physical activity.
Extra-curricular activities/clubs
For some extra-curricular activities special kit such as shin-pads/football boots may be required.
Representing the school in sporting activities
All children in KS2 will be expected to wear school PE kit when representing the school in matches/tournaments etc.
Parents should label all items of clothing clearly with their child’s name.
