The children at Staverton are required to wear uniform every day in school including many off site trips as well. Just as with a football team, there is not only a sense of purpose associated with uniform, but also a pride which is experienced in a personal and social sense. The school sells sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces, book bags and PE bags with the school logo on them. A price list and order form is available in the school entrance and also in the document library in this website.
For girls: grey skirt, trousers or pinafore dress, white blouse, white or blue polo shirt, blue school sweatshirt, cardigan, fleece (optional but very practical), plain tights/socks, school shoes. Summer: blue/white checked summer dress or skirt (optional)
For boys: grey trousers or shorts, white or blue polo shirt, school sweatshirt, fleece, school shoes.
PE kit: blue shorts, white teeshirt, daps in a PE bag kept in school termtime. Trainers may be worn for outdoor activities. In winter tracksuit bottoms are allowed for outdoor activities.
For swimming: a swimming cap is required. Should your child wish to wear goggles we will need a note from you to that effect as they have been a major cause of distraction in the past.
Shoes: the school requires that all children wear suitable black school shoes. Trainers are not allowed in class. Children may bring trainers to change into for playtime if they wish.
Reminders: staff have a supply of uniform reminder notes which they are required to issue if a child comes to school in non-uniform clothes or shoes. If for reasons beyond your control it is necessary to send your child to school in a non-uniform item of clothing please send in a note explaining why. Children who do arrive at school wearing trainers or any other non-suitable footwear will be asked to change into their daps whilst indoors.
Hair: long hair should be tied back or plaited for safety reasons. This is particularly important during PE and practical work. Haircuts are regarded in the same way as uniform as being part of your child's appearance which contributes to their sense of purpose in class. Outlandish or highly decorated styles are not allowed.
Jewellery: no jewellery is allowed except wristwatch. If earrings are worn only the stud type are allowed in school again for safety reasons. If children arrive wearing any other jewellery it will be put away safely and returned at the end of the day.
Makeup and nail varnish are not allowed.
Non-unifrom days (mufti days): occasionally we have one of these events associated with fund-raising/charity work. Notice will be given in advance.
Good quality second-hand school uniform is available in school. (See office)
