Everything you need to know about uniform
Uniform Expectations
The school has a uniform, which we strongly encourage children to wear as it reinforces their identity as a member of Little Paxton School. We offer branded items from our uniform supplier however we are happy for pupils to wear non branded items to save on costs. These items can be purchased from local supermarkets or other retailers.
Second hand clothing is sometimes available from the office (please ask).
It consists of the following:-
White or pale blue shirt/blouse or polo shirt
Grey trousers or skirt (no black)
Navy blue sweat cardigan/fleece or sweatshirt.
This is supplemented for summer with a light blue dress or grey tailored shorts with the above shirts.
Footwear should be plain black, functional shoes please.
Please provide wellies for your child to keep at school.
Jewellery can cause serious injuries in activities like PE and in play, therefore, jewellery should not be worn. If sleeper or stud earrings are worn they will need to be removed on PE days.
The National guidance has always been that no jewellery should be worn in PE and that includes swimming and physical activity. It is also not safe to cover ear-rings / studs / sleepers with tape. The reason is both because of the potential tearing of the ear lobe, but also the very slim chance that the post of the ear-ring could damage the neck which is where the brachial nerve is running directly to the brain. There are anecdotal cases of children wearing ear-rings / studs with plasters over being hit by a ball or coming off worse in a collision and having nasty injuries as a consequence.
Long hair should be tied back.
