A smart standard of dress helps create a positive image and a sense of belonging in a school. It is with this in mind that we encourage children to wear our distinctive school uniform. 

The school colours are red, white, grey and black, and can be bought from Darren Morgan Sports in Crosskeys or AJM embroidery in Cwmfelinfach via their high street store or online ordering system.  It is essential that ALL clothing items are labelled to allow any lost items to be returned to their owner.

PE kit is to be brought into school from Year 1 onwards and children will then need to change into their kit ready for the PE session.  They also have access to lots of outdoor activities.  It would be beneficial for them to have wet weather clothing in school.  This would comprise of wellies, waterproof trousers and waterproof jacket.   

Low-heeled sensible black shoes are essential for school.  We would ask for the wearing of trainers to be restricted to out-door games sessions.  Children in Key Stage 2 may bring trainers to school to wear at break time if they wish.   

 

The school has a ‘no jewellery’ policy.  Children who can tell the time may wear a watch.  Children with long hair should wear their hair tied up.  Children wearing hoop earrings will be asked to remove them as per our health and safety policy. Hairstyles should be sensible so as not to cause a disruption in the classroom.  Radical hairstyles are not permitted in school.  Children should be clean and tidy with no nail polish, transfer tattoos or anything else which will detract away from learning.  Special consideration will be given to medical or religious jewellery on discussion with the Headteacher.  

Personal Property, Fidget Toys and Mobile Phones 

To support a calm, focused and safe learning environment, we ask that children do not bring personal items from home into school unless specifically requested. All necessary learning equipment is provided by the school. 

We recognise that some children may wish to bring fidget toys or similar items. While we understand they can sometimes support focus, national guidance and current best practice highlight that they often become a distraction — not only for the child using them, but also for others nearby. For this reason, we do not encourage the use of fidget toys unless they are part of an agreed individual support plan. Where children do require additional sensory support, this will be carefully considered and provided through school-based strategies to ensure learning is not disrupted. 

In relation to mobile phones, Year 6 pupils who walk to and from school independently may bring a phone for safety reasons. However, in line with national guidance promoting phone-free school environments to reduce distraction and support wellbeing and learning, all mobile phones must be switched off on arrival and handed in to the school office for safe storage during the school day. Phones will be returned at the end of the day. 

Please ensure all clothing and belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name. Lost property is kept in the cloakroom and, if unclaimed after a term, will be donated to our uniform swap shop.
