school uniform
Our uniform is a mark of our school’s collective identity. It has been chosen with comfort and practicality in mind, and pupils are expected to present themselves and wear their school uniform with pride.
Winter
- Plain black or grey skirts, shorts or trousers
- Blue and white gingham dress
- White polo shirt
- Navy blue sweatshirt or navy blue cardigan (with or without school logo)
- Black shoes or black trainers
Summer
- Plain black or grey skirts, shorts or trousers
- Blue and white gingham dress

Shoes should be flat and sturdy. Shoes which are high heeled or with thin straps are not permitted as they can be hazardous when running and do not promote good foot health. If children wear boots to school, they must bring alternative shoes to change into.
If you wish to purchase a Barnsole logo jumper or other logo items these can be purchased from Phoenix Custom Design (www.phoenixcd.co.uk). Phoenix Custom Designs offer several delivery options, including standard post and packaging, as well as a click & collect option from school.
House Team T-Shirts
We are also delighted to launch our new House Team t-shirts, which feature logos designed by the children themselves. These t-shirts will be worn on PE days only, helping to build team spirit and school pride. House Team t-shirts can be purchased through our school uniform provider, Phoenix Custom Designs (www.phoenixcd.co.uk).
P.E. and Games
- Black or plain coloured shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms
- T-shirt in the colour of your child's house team (Gordon - yellow; Adams - green; Medway - blue; Invicta- red) or a plain white t-shirt.
- Jumper for when doing PE outside (children may use their school jumper as long as it is on top of their PE t-shirt)
- Black trainers
On the days that the children have PE they can come to school already wearing their PE kit.
Jewellery & Hair Acessories
- Ear-rings - plain studs only
- Hair bands or hair ties should be plain colours and small
- No necklaces, bracelets or any other item of jewellery is allowed
- Children should not be coming to school wearing make-up, including nail varnish
Watches
Children are welcome to wear a watch. They may wear either an analogue or digital watch; however, smartwatches with communication features such as messaging or phone calls are not permitted. This ensures a distraction-free learning environment.
Items of Religious Significance
Children from the Sikh community are allowed to wear a kara, which is a steel or iron bracelet. As part of the Sikh faith, the kara must not be removed.
Head coverings (hijab) should be in plain navy blue or black without any embellishments, patterns, or additional decorations.
Swimming Kit
Children need a one-piece costume and a towel. Goggles are not permitted. Children will have to remove any ear-rings. Swimming hats are required and non-negotiable following the health and safety policy of the swimming venue.
