Uniform

At Riversdale Primary school it is our policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, and when participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours.

We believe that school uniform:

• promotes a sense of pride in the school;
• engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
• is practical and smart;
• identifies the children with the school;
• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance.

Our uniform consists of:

• Green sweatshirt with the school logo,
• Green cardigan with the school logo,
• White polo shirt,
• Grey or black school trousers or school shorts (no denim, jersey material or leggings),
• Grey or black skirt,
• Plain black hijab (if required).

During the summer, children may wear a green gingham dress/play suit or grey/black shorts.

Footwear

We ask the children to wear the following:

• Flat, sensible, safe, shoes or trainers.

Children should not wear open-toed shoes or football boots/AstroTurf boots. 

PE Kit

• T Shirt in the child's house colour,
• Plain navy or black shorts or jogging bottoms.

This should be coupled with their school jumper to maintain warmth in the winter months. 

Hoodies and football kits are not a part of the school uniform or PE uniform. 

Jewellery

The only acceptable items of jewellery to be worn are a wristwatch and earring studs.

Should a pupil have pierced ears, only plain studs should be worn. Watches may be worn to school. However, they must be removed and collected by the class teacher before any PE lessons. Please note that the school will be unable to take any responsibility for any damaged or lost jewellery.

Hair and Make Up

The school asks that children do not wear any form of make up including nail varnish. We recommend that hair should be neat and tidy and worn with no extremes of style or colour. Long hair should be tied back during the school day.

Purchasing Uniform

Branded uniform items such as jumpers, cardigans, PACT folders and PE Tops are available from the school office via the Arbor app. Other items can be purchased from supermarkets. If parents/carers find it difficult to obtain any item, the school are available for support.
