Uniform

At Prescot Primary School, we believe that a school uniform plays a key role in promoting a sense of identity, pride, and belonging in our school community. It also supports equality between pupils and ensures that children are appropriately dressed for learning and play.

Our policy sets out the expectations for school uniform, including our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and applies to all pupils. However, for some children, especially those with complex needs, a school uniform can be a barrier to feeling safe and happy in school. We would ask families to get in touch if this is the case for their child and we can work together to agree an individualised approach.

Main School Uniform (Years 1–6)

Pupils are expected to wear the following uniform:

• Top: Blue sweatshirt, cardigan, or hoody with or without the school logo

General Guidance

• All items of clothing should be clearly labelled with your child’s name

• Jewellery should not be worn in school, except for small stud earrings, which must be removed or covered for PE

• Long hair should be tied back during the school day

• Uniform items with the school logo can be purchased from approved suppliers, but non-logo alternatives are acceptable where stated

• We offer second-hand uniform to support families

Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to ensuring that our uniform policy is affordable and accessible for all families. Branded items are kept to a minimum, and second-hand uniform is available through the school.
