All uniform items can be purchased from Monkhouse, either online or from the shop on The Rock in Bury. Non logo items can be purchased easily from other shops.
It is preferred but not compulsory that school uniform should be worn. The school colours are royal blue and grey. Uniform consists of:
For boys: grey trousers or shorts; sky blue polo shirt; blue round-necked sweatshirt with logo, black school shoes.
For girls: grey skirt, pinafore or trousers (not leggings); sky blue polo shirt; blue round-necked sweatshirt with logo or cardigan, black school shoes.
In summer girls may wear blue gingham dresses (all-in-one playsuits are not encouraged, due to hygiene concerns when using the toilet).
Fleeces with the school logo can be purchased from Monkhouse as an alternative to a sweatshirt.
For P.E: Ideally navy striped shorts, sky blue T-shirt with logo (however any plain t-shirt and navy shorts will suffice) and black pumps. A navy hoody and jogging bottoms can be worn in colder weather- one with a logo is available from Monkhouse.
PE kits should stay in school. Additional kit can be brought if a child is taking part in an after school activity.
For outdoor PE, trainers can be worn. Long hair must be tied back for PE lessons. Earrings should be covered with tape or removed.
Sweatshirts, polo shirts, fleeces, cardigans and P.E. T-shirts, embroidered with the school logo are available from Monkhouse.
All items of clothing must be clearly marked with the child's name please.
The Government strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.
In setting our uniform policy the Local Academy Committee:
Our FRIENDS parent group collect in and sell items of pre-loved school uniform at very reasonable cost. They have most items of uniform for most sizes. Pre-loved uniform items can be ordered and purchased through their Facebook page (please follow the link on their Friends page under the Parent website tab)- or a request can be made through the school office. The Friends regularly sell pre-loved uniform after school.
We also expect children to have a natural hair colour, a hair style that is not sculpted or shaved, neither nail varnish nor wearing make-up is allowed. Watches can be worn, but other jewellery is not permitted, apart from a small stud-like earring for pierced ears. False/acrylic nails are not allowed.
We are a Healthy School and in Early Years and Key Stage 1, the pupils receive a free piece of fruit to eat at break time. In Key Stage 2 children are able to bring in a piece of fruit to eat at break, from home, should they wish. No other food items eg cereal bars, snacks can be eaten at break.
Also, to support healthy development and teeth, children can bring in a bottle of water to sip during lessons. The bottle must be sealable, not too big and not leak if knocked over. Water bottles should be taken home for a rinse and refill daily.
