We thank you in your support in maintaining a good standard of dress which helps promote a sense of pride in the school.   The attachment at the bottom of this page gives information about where parents are able to purchase our school uniform.  All uniform is widely available, and at very reasonable prices from supermarkets or large chain shops.  Whilst items of uniform with the school logo are available from My Clothing online, we are happy for children to wear plain polo tops, cardigans or jumpers in the right colour should this be a more cost-effective option.

The colours of New Town Primary School are grey, bottle green and purple.  Parents are expected to make all reasonable efforts to purchase uniform in good time before each academic year, or by the time their child starts at New Town, so their children are smart and ready for learning at school.

SUMMER UNIFORM

PE UNIFORM - All PE uniform is worn to school when classes have a PE lesson, which is typically twice a week.

•     Plimsolls, or preferably trainers for outside lessons.  Velcro fastening shoes are recommended for younger children (FS and KS1) before they have learnt to do up their own laces.

No jewellery is permitted except stud earrings and watches. For safeguarding reasons, watches must not be ‘smart’ watches, with any capabilities to message or take photographs for example.

All stud earrings and watches must be removed for PE by the child themselves. We do not recommend children having their ears pierced in term time, and ask that if this is to be done, that it takes place at the beginning of the summer holidays in order that the piercings have time to heal and therefore earrings can be removed before PE lessons.

Long hair must be tied back for health and safety reasons and to prevent the spread of headlice.  Nail varnish is not permitted.
