School Uniform

We encourage all children to wear school uniform which helps to develop a sense of pride in being part of the Mickley Village Primary and Nursery School community.

Our school uniform policy is as follows:-

  • grey/black trousers, shorts or skirt (no cycling shorts)
  • royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan (and/or fleece)
  • white polo shirt
  • black shoes or plain, black trainers
  • blue checked dress (spring/summer)

The sweatshirt, cardigan and white polo shirt embroidered with the school logo can be ordered online at : https://www.yourschooluniform.com . A fleece jacket and book bag, both with the school logo, are also available, but must be royal blue.

There is an option to have uniform delivered free of charge for schools, and there will usually be one delivery per month. Details of the delivery times and options will be displayed when ordering.

We actively encourage non-branded items. The grey/black trousers, shorts or skirts may be purchased locally at many supermarkets or clothing stores.

Please label all clothing, especially school polo shirts, sweatshirts/cardigans and outdoor coats. It is very difficult to return lost clothing that is not named.

PE

Children are to come to school wearing their PE kit on their designated PE day. Staff will communicate this day with you. They will still need to wear their royal blue school jumper, fleece or cardigan for the other teaching sessions, but are invited to bring a black/grey jumper to wear for PE in colder weather – Please note that hooded tops are NOT allowed for safety reasons.

PE kit is as follows;

  • black or grey shorts (mid-thigh length)
  • plain, white t-shirt (short sleeves, no collar)
  • plain black or grey jogging bottoms (colder weather)
  • plain, black or grey non-branded jumper (colder weather)
  • 1 pair of black pumps or trainers
  • No jewellery, earrings must be removed or taped and hair should be tied back. (It is parents' responsibility to ensure earrings are taped or they must provide tape- school will not provide earring tape.)

We ask that PE kits are clean, clearly labelled and trainers fit well.

During the summer months we ask all parents to ensure that their child brings a hat to school and also has applied sunscreen before coming to school.

Hats/Hair Coverings: Children may not wear hats, caps, handkerchiefs, bandanas, scarves, or other head coverings indoors at school. Exceptions can be made for religious and/or medical reasons. Hair bands also need be smart and discreet.

Hair: Hair should not have tramlines, dyed elements, very closely shaved, holiday braiding, Mohicans or similar.

Piercings: Earrings, if worn, must only be small studs and either be removed by the child or left at home on PE days. If ears have recently been pierced, earrings may be taped up with Micropore tape supplied by the family and kept in their school bag.

Facial piercings are not permitted.

Jewellery: Necklaces, rings, bracelets and chains are not permitted. Watches can be worn, but must be removed by the child for sporting activities. Exceptions can be made for religious and/or medical reasons. 

Foot wear: It is advisable that the children bring Wellington boots on snowy or very wet days, as we like to be able to go out in all weathers. Heeled shoes and Crocs are not acceptable.

Nails/Make up: Nails should be free of any artificial enhancements or colour. Make up is not permitted.

Non-Uniform Days: A non-uniform day allows a child to express his/her individuality through their attire. The expectation is for the child to wear garments that fit appropriately and are non-offensive. Any article of clothing that is deemed inappropriate for a non-uniform day, will result in the child being required to change. Sometimes, for school trips, other clothing is requested. Please consider appropriateness for the weather conditions expected.

Health and Safety: For safety reasons, jewellery must not be worn in school. Only watches and stud earrings may be worn if necessary, but they must be removed for P.E. lessons by your child. If your child has recently had their ears pierced, then they will need to cover their ears for PE sessions.
