School Uniform

SCHOOL UNIFORM

We consider every child to be an ambassador for Andrews’ Endowed School, and expect them to take pride in their appearance.  Being smartly dressed in our distinctive purple school uniform gives our children a sense of belonging and love in our community. We do not want families to have to spend enormous amounts of money on uniform, so we try to keep the number of items with school logos to a minimum.  Our uniform consists of:

Polo shirts                                           White (plain or with school logo)

Trousers (long or short)                      Grey/black

Skirts/pinafore dresses/culottes         Grey

Sweatshirts/cardigans                         Purple (plain or with school logo)

Dresses                                               Purple gingham check

Socks                                                  Plain grey, black, or white

Tights                                                  Plain, not patterned, grey, black, white or purple

Coat                                                    A warm winter coat of any type may be worn

Shoes                                                  Black, brown or navy – easily fastened, of a sensible style which covers the toes for safety.

Sandals                                               If worn in summer, children must change into  plimsolls or trainers at breaktimes.

Boots                                                   May be worn to and from school in winter, but children should change into shoes on arrival.

Wellingtons                                          All children should have a pair of named wellingtons in school during the wetter months.

P.E. kit                                                Black shorts,  House-Coloured tee-shirt (Austen – yellow; Cobbett – red; Gaskell – green; White – blue)

                                                            trainers or black plimsolls

                                                            jogging bottoms and the school jumper may be worn in cold weather

Our PTFA run an excellent Second Hand Uniform service, offering nearly-new clothing in most sizes for a small donation.  The Second Hand Uniform is regularly put out for sale at school events, including our induction events for new starters.  Alternatively, if you need something quickly, you can leave a note at the school office and someone will get back to you. 

In the interests of healthy feet, children may not wear plimsolls throughout the day except for outdoor games and P.E.  If your child wears plimsolls for PE, they should change into them and wear their school shoes the rest of the day. 

ALL clothing and equipment needs to be clearly marked with the child’s name. Checks need to be made regularly to ensure that the name label has not faded or disappeared. 

Due to the safety of our children and the practicalities of school life, jewellery is not part of our school uniform.  We do not recommend pierced ears for the same reason, but where children do have their ears pierced only plain studs may be worn.  These must be removed for PE, and stored by the child.  The school is not able to take responsibility for lost earrings.  Pupils who cannot remove their own earrings will need to provide and use micropore tape to cover their earrings for PE.
