Here at The Grove Primary, we are extremely proud of our school identity and all children wear the school uniform with pride. At The Grove Primary School, we believe smartly dressed pupils in uniform create a sense of belonging. We encourage all children to wear the school uniform we encourage all parents to encourage their children to wear school uniform.
We promote independence throughout school for all our children and children need to be able to take off and put on their own shoes without adult support, therefore Velcro fastening shoes can be worn by children who are unable to tie shoe laces.
We are proud of our identity, which has contributed towards achieving a positive school ethos and high standards of behaviour.
Uniform can be purchased through our supplier Tots to Teams https://totstoteams.com/ or alternatively non-branded uniform can be purchased through an alternative provider.
Our school uniform consists of:
- Red jumper/cardigan with school badge (children are permitted to wear a jumper or cardigan without a school badge)
- Red and white checked (summer term)
- White polo/collared shirt
- Black or grey trousers
- Black or grey skirt/pinafore dress
- Black flat shoes (Trainers are not permitted)
Children must wear a change of clothing for P.E. and training shoes if permitted for the activity.
Our school P.E. kit consists of team coloured t shirt with embroidered school logo (children are permitted to wear a plain team coloured t shirt and black shorts).
We have a uniform Swap Shop which has nearly new items of uniform, shoes and coats too. You can either donate items of nearly new uniform or we can supply items to you. This can be via phone call, text or completing this link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Uv_fRWSDc02_Oo-YvfENh3ZQyJwiXkNEgQaJ-izrUnVUNENPTFJMRkJRMlEzRVZOOEpDN1ZNRlZCRC4u
Jewellery In School
We do not permit children to wear any jewellery apart from a watch for health and safety purposes. If children wear jewellery, they will be asked to remove it and place it into their bags. Smart watches are not permitted. If your child has pierced ears, please remove earrings before they come in and they can be put back in as soon as they leave school. If your child arrives in school wearing earrings they will be asked to remove them and if they can’t do so themselves, a parent/carer will be contacted.
