Uniform

Our uniform policy reflects the school’s commitment to equality, inclusion and high standards. Wearing the correct uniform promotes a sense of belonging, pride and readiness to learn. It also ensures pupils are dressed safely and appropriately for all school activities.

All pupils are expected to wear the full school uniform every day unless otherwise advised (e.g. non-uniform days or special events).

Uniform should be clean, well-fitting, and clearly labelled with the pupil’s name.

We understand the importance of affordability and accessibility for our families, with the exception of our school jumper, the majority of our uniform can be easily purchased at most supermarkets.

Accessories

Jewellery should not be worn in school.

Children with pierced ears may wear small plain studs. On swimming and PE days studs should not be worn. The only exception to this rule is if a child’s ears have very recently been pierced then, on swimming and PE days, they may wear their studs provided they have been covered with tape before coming to school. Once the lesson is over the tape can be removed by the child.

Children may wear an ordinary watch when they are able to tell the time. Children should not wear smart watches to school. 

Hair and Make Up

Fishponds CE Primary School proudly supports the Halo Code, which champions the right of pupils to wear their natural hair without restriction or discrimination. We celebrate diversity and recognise that hairstyles are an important part of cultural identity. Pupils are free to wear their hair in styles that reflect their heritage, including afros, braids, locs, twists, and other protective styles, provided they do not pose a health or safety risk during school activities.

Makeup and nail varnish are not allowed.
