Park Mead School Uniform

We believe the wearing of school uniform promotes a sense of pride in the school and engenders a feeling of community and belonging, which we want our children to feel at all times when they are wearing their school uniform.

We seek the full co-operation of all parents in supporting our school uniform policy and the clothing requirements which are explained through the following information.

Please note, the M&S uniform shop allows you to order the both uniform that carry the school logo and plain uniform, as shown in the images above. Further to these items, a baseball cap displaying the school logo is available which we would encourage parents to order for the summer term, alongside other items such as PE shorts and jogging bottoms.

Early Years and Key Stage 1 (Years R, 1 & 2)

Children in the Early Years and Key Stage 1 will require a Park Mead logo book bag for transport of their daily resources (reading record, reading book, phonics homework etc). These are available for purchase from the Marks and & Spencer online uniform shop. 

All items of clothing must be clearly named with sewn or iron on labels or a permanent pen.

Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6)

Children from Year 3 may use a small bag or rucksack (to fit into a single locker) for transport of their daily resources as an alternative to the Park Mead book bag. 

All items of clothing must be clearly named with sewn or iron on labels or a permanent pen.

PE Kit (All Pupils)

Art

A protective garment such as a plastic overall or an old shirt is essential for art and craft activities.

General

At break times, depending on weather conditions, wellington boots may be worn by Key Stage 1 pupils and training shoes by Key Stage 2. These must be changed for shoes in the classroom. We would ask that parents ensure that children only wear sensible, flat heeled shoes for school. 

Please note that only plain stud earrings may be worn.  County policy is that these must be removed for PE lessons. We would ask for parents’ co-operation in this matter and suggest that any ear piercing is arranged to take place at the beginning of the summer break.

Long hair must be tied back at all times for health and safety purposes. 

The wearing of make up, nail varnish or temporary tattoos is not permitted in school.
