ATWOOD PRIMARY ACADEMY UNIFORM POLICY

The wearing of the correct school uniform is important to us because it:

In helping us to maintain the high standards the school and parents/carers expect from pupils at Atwood, could you please ensure your child is wearing the correct school uniform.

Nursery
The only compulsory item of clothing for Nursery children is the Atwood Foundation Stage sweatshirt. This is available from Mapac.

Reception
Reception children wear the same uniform as the rest of the school, except that they wear a white polo t-shirt instead of a shirt, and an Atwood Foundation Stage sweatshirt instead of a jumper/cardigan. The sweatshirt is available from Mapac. Children may wear a plain white polo shirt, or one with the Atwood logo.

Rest of the school

Girls’ Tunics/Skirts or trousers

Grey (trousers must be Banner ‘Junior Girls Bootleg Grey’, which are available from Mapac, or most other school outfitters/department stores.

These are the only girls’ trousers acceptable. Girls may wear standard boys’ grey trousers)

Girls’ Summer Dresses (Summer term to October half-term only)

Blue checked (NOT navy, and NOT with a white collar – should be of the same material as the dress) - available from M&S, Asda, Tesco, etc.

We prefer pupils not to wear earrings. If they are worn, there must be a maximum of one small plain gold or silver ear stud per ear, in the lobe (not glass/diamond-effect/emblems, etc.) Children must remove their earrings themselves. Hooped earrings are not allowed and no other piercings are permitted. The only other jewellery permitted is that worn for religious or medical reasons, and a named wristwatch. The school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to jewellery.

Hair Normal haircuts   (no marks cut in hair please)

Hair gel may be used to keep hair tidy, but not for fashion styling as this is inappropriate.

Hair that touches the shoulder or longer must be tied back  (which will also help prevent head lice) - this applies to both boys and girls.

Children may wear any blue, white or black plain hair band or scrunchie (or one made out of the school summer dress material), or a plain, narrow alice band. Plain clips may be worn, but with no extras stuck onto them.  No beads please.

Brownies/Cubs, etc.

It has been a tradition that if one of the four main saints days falls on a school day, children who are encouraged by their group to wear their uniform may do so providing that they understand why they are wearing it, and that it is as smart as our school uniform
