Our School Uniform

At Collierley Nursery and Primary School, we believe that a school uniform:

• Promotes a sense of belonging and pride

• Supports equality between pupils

• Is practical, comfortable and affordable for families

We are committed to ensuring that our uniform is good value for money and accessible to all.

​

Our Approach to Cost and Affordability

We recognise the importance of keeping costs low for families. In line with Department for Education guidance, we:

• Keep branded items to a minimum

• Allow generic alternatives that can be purchased from a range of retailers, including supermarkets

• Avoid requiring items that can only be purchased from a single supplier

• Provide access to second-hand uniform where possible

We regularly review our uniform to ensure it remains affordable.

​

Our School uniform consists of the following:

• Grey Tartan Pleated skirt - available online from The School Outfit

• Grey / Black Trousers or Shorts

• Grey / Black Skirt

• Grey Pinafore Dress

• White Shirt / Polo Shirt

• Red knitted jumper with grey trim - available online from The School Outfit

• Red Sweatshirt / Cardigan

• Red and White Checked Summer Dress

• Black Shoes

Branded school PE T-shirts are provided by school for all children each year.

Non branded jumpers and T-shirts can be worn by children and purchased from any retailer.

​

Jewellery, with the exception of a small watch, is not permitted for health and safety reasons.

 

P.E. Uniform: 

• Black/Red Shorts

• Red Sports T Shirt only available online

• Training Shoes / Plimsolls

• During the winter months, children are permitted to wear black tracksuit bottoms when taking part in
  outdoor P.E. activities

​

Swimming:

In KS2, children attend swimming sessions throughout the school year. During these sessions, children should have the appropriate swimwear.

​

Second-Hand Uniform

We encourage the use of second-hand uniform to support affordability and sustainability.

Second-hand items are:

• Available through school (please contact the office)

• Shared through community events where possible

​

Support for Families

If you require support with purchasing uniform, please contact the school office in confidence. We are happy to help.

​

Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to ensuring our uniform is inclusive and flexible. Reasonable adjustments can be made to support:

• Medical or sensory needs

• Religious or cultural requirements

• Additional needs or disabilities

Please contact us to discuss individual requirements.

​

Looking Ahead

We are aware of upcoming national changes regarding school uniform and are already ensuring our approach aligns with future expectations, including limiting the number of branded items.
