School Uniform
School uniform plays an important role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone. A uniform can instil pride; support positive behaviour and discipline; ensure pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome and protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way. Above all research shows that school uniform supports effective teaching and learning.
At Moat Farm Infant School, we have adopted an active uniform for all children. The active uniform has been carefully designed to support children to remain active throughout the school day, while improving comfort and allowing all children to participate fully in lessons, playtimes and lunchtimes. An active uniform also means that no separate PE kit is required.
To enable all parents/carers to afford a uniform the school has a colours only stipulation. Although the school can provide branded sweatshirts, cardigans and t-shirts, parents can shop around for the cheapest provider so long as the school colours are adhered to.
Unbranded items of uniform can be purchased in many places including Asda, M&S, Next, Sainsburys and Tesco. Branded items, such as trainers or joggers purchased from places such as JD are not acceptable.
Our school uniform consists of:
- White polo shirt with a collar
- Maroon jumper or cardigan (branded or unbranded)
- Maroon book bag (branded or unbranded)
- Black skort
- Black pinafore dress, worn with black shorts or tights underneath
- Black skirt, worn with black shorts or tights underneath
- Plain black joggers, leggings, knitted bootcut trousers or shorts (unbranded)
- Plain black velcro trainers (unbranded)
- Wellies to be kept in school
Please name all items of clothing.
We would be grateful if you could also provide the following:
- Water bottle
Previously owned uniform can be purchased, for a reduced rate, at the school office.
