    • School Uniform Guidance

    At South Bank Primary School, we take great pride in our uniform which we expect all our pupils to wear.
    We believe that it promotes our family identity and actively discourages discrimination and peer pressure.
    We also want to ensure that our uniform is accessible and affordable to everyone.

    Our school uniform consists of the following:

    • Required – Black trousers , skirt or pinafore. Please no jeans or jogging bottoms.
    • Required – Royal Blue sweatshirt or cardigan with or without school logo. This can be purchased from any supplier you wish.
    • Required - White polo shirt.
    • Required – Flat shoes; preferably black shoes or black trainers. Shoes that are brightly coloured or contain flashing lights are discouraged. High heels should not be worn for health and safety reasons.
    • The above items can be worn all year round.

    Optional items include: 

    • Book bag
    • Drawstring PE bag
    • Warm weather:  blue gingham dress and black shorts.

    All items of clothing should be named.

    Unfortunately, school can take no responsibility for lost or damaged uniform.

    Please note that extreme haircuts such as excessive beading or shaven marks in hair are not appropriate for school.

    PE Kit

    Please ensure your child wears their PE kit on their allocated PE days. 

    • Pale blue or white full length t-shirts - no logos or crop tops
    • Black shorts or tracksuit bottoms
    • Trainers must be worn when using our Multi Use Games Area (MUGA)
    • PE bags should be limited to drawstring styles with thin handles which will easily fit onto the narrow pegs.

    JEWELLERY

    • Jewellery is not allowed in school for pupils. It can be a safety hazard and if lost or damaged, causes distress.
    • Ear-studs are allowed but must be removed by your child for PE lessons and during swimming lessons. Covering with plasters is not allowed.
    • The problem of newly pierced ears can be avoided by waiting for the summer holiday.
    • Nose studs and belly button piercings are not allowed.
    • Please ensure that temporary tattoos are removed before sending your child to school.

    SECOND-HAND SCHOOL CLOTHES

    • We welcome all donations of second-hand school clothing items.
    • Second-hand school uniform is available to all our families. Please contact the school at your convenience, and we will be happy to support you with this.

    MOBILE PHONES

    • Please note that children are not allowed mobile phones in school.
    • If you send your child to school with a mobile phone, it must be handed into the school office.  It will be placed in a locked cash box and can be collected at the end of the school day.
