Crown Wood Primary School requires pupils to wear a school uniform.  We believe that a school uniform provides a sense of belonging and identity whilst setting an appropriate tone for an education setting.

Details of our school uniform requirements can be found below.

In developing our school uniform, we have carefully considered what is required practically for classroom lessons or for sport, safeguarding and health and safety considerations, and our obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and we have taken account of the wishes of parents and pupils.

We have also considered the cost implications for families and different groups of pupils and sought the best value - we have minimised the number of branded items and avoided single-supplier contracts so that parents have a choice of where they can shop, and we will avoid frequent uniform changes so that clothes can be passed on. We also offer school swap shop / second-hand uniforms to ensure that families have low-cost options. 

If you have any questions about our uniform, or are struggling through financial hardship, please contact Mrs Ruck via the office and we can support you.  Complaints about our school uniform should be dealt with under the school complaints policy, which can be found here.

The official school colours are blue and white.

All school uniform items and accessories (e.g. book and PE bags etc) can be ordered from PMG Schoolwear, or MyClothing a national online business that provides delivery directly to parents.

Children should have their full PE kit, including tracksuits and trainers, in school for the whole week. PE kit needs to be labelled with the child's name and brought to school in a drawstring bag.

Appearance and Jewellery

Long shoulder-length hair should be tied back and off the face. There should be no extremes of hairstyle (e.g. marks are cut into the hair / use of different colours).   Accessories worn in the hair should also be suitable for school (e.g. not too big and in - or complimentary to - school colours) and kept to a minimum. 

No make-up or nail polish should be worn.

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery at school except religious / cultural symbols, Medic-Alert bracelets and earrings. If your child has pierced ears, plain silver or gold studs must be worn. Earrings must be removed for PE lessons. Watches may be worn but should be clearly marked with your child's name.  No other body jewellery should be worn.

Children should look smart when wearing their school uniform.
