School Uniform

Uniform Requirements

The wearing of school uniform helps promote a sense of belonging to a thriving community. It is an expectation that all Crosshall students will wear the approved school uniform, however branded uniform is not a daily requirement. 

Our uniform was chosen to support parents' budget so that:

  • branded items were discouraged;
  • clothes are easily and cheaply purchased;
  • P.E. stains are not so noticeable;
  • Uniform would be 'hardy', comfortable, and safe.

We have also created 'nearly new stock' of clothes that have been laundered and we sell for £1 per item.  Please contact the school office or our Learning & Wellbeing Mentors if you would like to have a look at what we have available and purchase.

Uniform Requirements:

  • For school trips and visits an item of clothing with the school logo (i.e. sweatshirt/ cardigan/ polo-shirt) must be worn.
  • jade or navy sweatshirts/cardigans (navy sweatshirt is available in most stores);
  • jade, navy or white polo-shirts (navy and white polos are available in most stores);
  • plain navy, dark grey or black trousers (not ‘jean style’, ‘skinny trousers’ or denim), shorts or skirts. Shorts and skirts must be of a modest length;
  • summer dresses must be jade or blue check;
  • plain, dark, sensible footwear. Please note, students should not wear trainers with coloured markings (e.g. white lines, white soles, Nike swooshes etc.), open-toed, sling backs or high heels;
  • for art activities: a smock or modified adult's shirt or an apron.

The P.E. kit should consist of:

  • plain navy, dark grey or black tracksuit and/or shorts, with a plain white, navy or black t-shirt, and dark, sensible footwear.  Additionally, for indoor P.E., if students wear zipped or hooded tops, they will be asked to remove these.  Excessively baggy tracksuit bottoms are also not suitable and, generally, students remove their shoes and socks.
  • Clubs/ Matches: Where sporting clubs or matches occur, students should still attend in school uniform, and then change prior to the club or the match commencing.

On P.E. days students should come to school in their P.E. kit.  This has several benefits:

  • more time for P.E. - rather than spending time changing;
  • fewer worries for some students - no changing with other people around;
  • better hygiene - P.E. kits are washed each week

The PE schedule for the 2024/2025 school year is below. Please ensure your child comes to school in his/her full PE kit on their designated PE day:

Mondays: 6MR & 6LG

Tuesdays: 6HB & 6KW

Wednesdays: Year Five

Thursdays: Year Four 

Fridays: Year Three

Please note: Year Three start PE from Friday 6th September.  All other year groups start PE from week commencing 9th September.

  • Students must remove stud earrings at home on their P.E./ swimming day(s) for safety reasons.

Items with the school logo (i.e. sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts and T-shirts) may be purchased online at www.totalclothing.co.uk/cjs. The online shop also sells a number of other items such as bags, hats and clothing labels.

Orders can be delivered to school free of charge. 

Items for school delivery will be dispatched each Monday for next day delivery.

Plain items of school clothing (i.e. shirts, trousers) may be purchased from most high street retailers and second-hand retailers who provide school uniform.

The locker space is very limited, so we ask that students bring books to school in a drawstring 'PE bag' or book bag.

If a child is in school in the wrong uniform, we will contact parents to establish why this is the case and agree a timescale for it to be rectified.

 

Earrings/ Jewellery/ Make-up:

  • Students should remove stud earrings at home on their P.E./ swimming day(s).
  • We do not allow students to wear nail varnish, jewellery (other than stud earrings) or make-up during the school day.

 

Many thanks for your continued support and helping to keep our community looking smart, being safe, and feeling comfortable - and all on a small budget.

We have much to be proud of at Crosshall Junior School
