Uniform Information

At Dunton Bassett Primary School we believe that a school uniform is important because it:

• identifies the children with the school;

• promotes a sense of pride in the school;

• engenders a feeling of community and belonging;

• enables children to feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;

• is practical and smart and not distracting in class;

• is regarded as suitable, and good value for money;

• has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Please refer to our Uniform Policy for more details.

Swimming

Children who go swimming need a towel and swimming trunks or one-piece costume (no bikinis), carried in a waterproof bag. All children require a swimming hat.

Jewellery 

For safety reasons, children are not permitted to wear jewellery in school except stud ear rings, and jewellery worn for religious or medical reasons and/or a sensible watch.  

All jewellery should be removed for PE.  Earrings 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.
