Uniform

All children are expected to wear academy uniform at all times. Logoed uniform can be purchased online from
https://www.sptuniforms.co.uk/
We will also host ‘Pop Up Shops’ as required throughout the academic year with John Whitgift Academy.
SPT Uniforms also offer a Free “Click and Collect” service to all parents. This is where parents can order their uniform items online, and then SPT Uniforms will make a delivery to the academy on a regular basis to deliver items to the academy, free of charge. The parent will then receive a text to say that the order has been delivered to the academy and is awaiting collection. SPT are also looking to start a ‘pre-loved’ uniform shop in the near future – we will keep you updated about that.
Parents/Carers can also purchase uniform from other retailers and second hand shops. At the end of each academic year, we have a non uniform day so that families can donate good quality uniform to our second hand suppliers. Information about how to collect from them is sent out each year.
Skirts, shirts and trousers can be purchased from supermarkets or elsewhere.

The uniform for children in Nursery to Year 5 consists of: Royal blue V-neck jumper, cardigan or sweatshirt (with or without logo) Grey or black trousers/skirt White polo shirt, shirt or blouse In warmer weather, children can also wear: Blue gingham checked summer dress Grey or black shorts.

Please ensure you label all school uniform and equipment, including coats, with your child’s name and class. The academy accepts no responsibility for lost items of clothing.

No jewellery is allowed to be worn in school except for an analogue watch. Fitbits or digital watches should not be worn. All earrings must be removed prior to coming to school.
Hair accessories should be dark, plain colours (or gingham check) and no large bright bows/bobbles/clips please or extreme hair cuts eg: shaved heads.
Skirts should not be unduly short.

PE

Children are expected to wear a pair of black shorts, plain white T shirt which will remain in a kit bag in school at all times. Indoor PE is done in bare feet or school plimsolls.

For outdoor PE, children may wear black jogging bottoms and a long sleeved t-shirt or their school sweatshirt/cardigan.

Children must bring trainers to participate in outdoor PE – these are not provided by the academy and if children do not bring the correct footwear it may not be possible for them to participate.
