Uniform at Grange Primary School

We encourage all children to wear our school uniform where possible. This supports our sense of school community.  

We do recognise, that some children may have individual needs, including sensory issues, which make it more challenging to wear all items of our school uniform.  Where this is the case, staff will work with families to agree any adaptations and support how we can overcome any barriers that can be overcome. Please get in touch with your child’s class teacher, your child’s Phase Lead (Mrs Gallagher, Mrs Sinnott or Mr Beane), Mr Merritt (SENDCO) or a Family Support Officer, if this is something you would like to discuss.

At Grange Primary School we ensure that the cost of school uniforms is affordable to parents and carers.

Although branded uniform is available, there is no expectation for parents to purchase this. We have a range of uniform options that are available from low cost outlets including mainstream supermarkets in order to reduce the cost for parents and carers.  

We have free second hand uniform, as part of our uniform recycling scheme, which is always available from our Family Support Officers and we regularly promote this in our school hall for parents and carers to access. We accept good quality second hand uniform from parents and carers which will be recycled as part of this scheme.

Our school uniform consists of:

Grey skirt, trousers or tunic (available from most supermarkets).

Grey or purple sweatshirt, cardigan or jumper (available from most supermarkets). Branded purple jumpers and cardigans are available from the school but these are optional.

Purple and yellow striped school tie (optional).

White or purple polo shirt (available from most supermarkets). Branded white polo shirts are available from the school but these are optional.

In Summer, there is the option to wear a checked dress- in lemon or lilac or black, navy or grey shorts (available from most supermarkets).

Our PE Kit consists of:

White T-shirt, black shorts and black gym shoes (available from most supermarkets).

School will provide a PE bag (free of charge) when this kit is brought into school.

It is useful for children to have a bag in order to transport their reading book to and from school. Branded book bags are available from school (optional).

Jewellery:

Children should not wear jewellery including earrings in school due to health and safety reasons. Where new piercings are wanted, we ask that these are done at the start of the summer holidays where possible to enable time for them to heal before the return to school.   

If your child needs to wear earrings due to them still being in the period where they cannot be removed, you will be required to sign a disclaimer to accept liability for any injury and agree to remove them as soon as possible. This will only be allowed for a short period of time during the healing process.
