The staff, governors and parents support the wearing of a School Uniform. The children at Wellesbourne Primary & Nursery School are very proud to belong to our school and the uniform re-enforces this sense of identity. As with all other areas of school, we expect very high standards and encourage children to take a pride in their appearance.
School Uniform
Autumn & Spring Terms:
White polo shirt, dark green sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without school logo), grey trousers, school skirt or pinafore, grey/ white or black socks with black shoes (plain black trainer style shoes can be worn without logos).
Wellesbourne dark green school coats are advised, expensive coats are discouraged.
Summer Term:
The Headteacher will remind parents when summer uniform is expected to be worn. This is usually straight after the Easter break. However, weather conditions can be variable. When it is cold, winter uniform can be worn until indicated.
In the hotter summer months, the uniform is as follows: –
A white polo shirt, grey shorts or skirt. Alternatively, a green gingham summer dress with white shoes and socks.
Jewellery and Hair
No jewellery is allowed to be worn by children in school other than a wrist watch (not a toy one). Earrings must be small plain studs only. Long hair must be tied back at all times, with hair accessories kept to a minimum (no big bows or hairbands). Hair bobbles should be school colours (dark green, white or black is allowed). No coloured or dyed hair is allowed (including ribbons etc).
Physical Education (PE)
Children will come into school wearing their PE kits (not own clothes) for Physical Education on their PE day.
All children will need: black PE shorts, a yellow t-shirt and black Velcro pumps. Trainers can be worn for outdoor PE lessons. In colder months an outdoor tracksuit can be worn; if this is worn it must be a dark green Wellesbourne jogging suit which is now available from our uniform stockists. Children cannot wear any other tracksuit.
Children who do not wear their PE kit will be monitored and a letter will be sent home. Parents of children who are regularly missing PE due to no kit, or the incorrect kit, will be invited in to see a member of the Senior Leadership Team or Headteacher.
Swimming (Y4-6 only)
Suitable swimming costumes are required at different times in the juniors. This includes a one-piece swimsuit for girls, swimming trunks for boys (no beach style shorts), goggles (optional) and a swimming cap. Parents will be notified when these are required.
Naming of Clothing
All items of clothing must be clearly marked with your child’s name. This cannot be stressed enough. We collect a vast amount of unnamed lost property and sadly as we have no facility to store it; it has to be disposed of at the end of the year.
All of the uniform items mentioned in this policy are available from two local stockists.
