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, or trousers
White polo shirt
Navy blue sweatshirt or navy blue cardigan (with or without school logo)
Black, blue or grey tights
Black shoes or black trainers (no bright laces)

Summer

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 (no bright laces)

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.

P.E. and Games

Black or plain coloured shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms
T-shirt in the colour of your child's house team (Discoverers - yellow; Adventurers - green; Challengers - blue; Explorers - red)
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 (no bright laces)

On the days that the children have PE they can come to school already wearing their PE kit.
It is essential that all items of clothing are clearly marked with your child’s name, including coats and PE kit.

Jewellery & Hair Acessories

No jewellery (other than plain studs for pierced ears) or make-up is permitted.

Children should not wear nail varnish or acrylic nails to school, for health and safety reasons, as the nail bed is an area first aiders may need to check if there is any injury to the hand or arm.

Hair bands or hair ties should be plain colours and small.

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 with without any embellishments, patterns, or additional decorations.

If you wish to purchase a Barnsole logo jumper or other logo items these can be purchased from Uniformbase, 11 Railway St, Chatham ME4 4HU.
