School Uniform
Mossbrook School acknowledges that;
- Branded items are often more expensive and that supermarket own-labels and high-street items are often cheaper
- If parents would like to continue to purchase branded items from uniform suppliers, then they are free to do so. (Please check below for our current school uniform providers)
- Parents and carers should not have to think about the cost of a uniform when choosing a school
- It will consider the total cost of the uniform or any other clothing that needs to be provided, for example PE or swimming kit
- If the uniform is to change, Mossbrook School will engage with parents/carers and children in a timely manner
- Where possible, Mossbrook School will attempt to ensure that that any ‘pre-loved’ uniform is available to parents and carers. Information on the availability of any uniform will be made clear for both current and prospective parents. This will be made available during whole school events that parents are invited to
- The uniform will be inclusive of all faiths and will be sensitive to the needs of different cultures, races and religions. It will also act reasonably in accommodating these needs without compromising school safety and discipline
- Some of our children have specific sensory and physical needs and as such may not be able or choose to wear school uniform
- The school governors and the Headteacher will consider any reasonable requests for flexibility for an individual to accommodate their religion, belief, gender or race
Mossbrook School will ensure that, where possible;
- Parents will not have to purchase items that are branded including those for PE and swimming
- There will be no specific clothing requirements for extra-curricular activities
- Avoid having different uniform requirements for different departments/classes
Parents and Carers will, where possible;
- Ensure that children wear our uniform at all times, including on the school premises and trips into the community, unless advised otherwise
- Ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with the name of the child
- Ensure that spare clothes are sent in where required
Any requests to discuss adaptations, or complaints regarding our policy should be directed to the school office in the first instance.
We believe that children learn best when they are active. This means two things for parents and carers, we may be sending clothes home that are dirty and that we need you to send the children to school in clothes that are suitable for the weather as they may be outside.
Our school uniform is a white polo T shirt, a green sweatshirt and black bottoms. Trousers, shorts, track suit bottoms or a skirt are all acceptable. We ask that children wear sensible shoes that they are able to run around in. Some of our children find it really tricky to wear our school uniform and we completely understand this. The important this is that your child wears something comfortable that they are able to learn and play in.
Please send in the following for swimming lessons:
- Swimming trunks/shorts or costume
- Swim nappies if needed
- Large towel
- Goggles for those children whose parents have given permission to wear them.
- Ear plugs for those children whose parents have given permission to wear them.
