School Uniform
At Gorsefield Primary School, we have high expectations of our pupils and their uniform. Wearing a uniform encourages a feeling of security and gives a sense of belonging to a community. Uniform is an important part of a school’s identity: it reinforces who we are as a community and helps allow children to feel pride in their school. It also ensures children are not put under any pressure because of the type of clothes they wear and all are treated equally.
The Gorsefield school uniform is compulsory for all children.
Our uniform is:
- Navy sweatshirt (with or without school logo).
- White polo shirt.
- Grey tailored trousers or skirt.
- White or black socks, or tights, as appropriate.
- Black shoes with lace or Velcro fastenings.
- Optional tailored grey short trousers for summer (not sport or beach shorts)
-
Please check that all P.E. and Games kit is labelled with your child’s name.
PE – White T-shirt, navy shorts and black pumps (not trainers). Shorts should be above the knee for health and safety reasons. It is not ideal to bring beach clothing or summer shorts.
Please ensure that all clothing is marked with your child’s name.
We have a selection of nearly new school uniform available from the school office, including school sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts, trousers, skirts, PE kit, coats, and school shoes. All items have been generously donated by families and are in good, clean condition. This service helps reduce costs for families while supporting our commitment to sustainability by giving good-quality uniform a second life. Please help yourselves- take as much or as little as you need.
