Uniform

We believe that wearing a uniform promotes a sense of equity and belonging to our school community. We want our pupils to regard their time in school as important and wearing sensible and suitable clothes is a mark of respect.

Our uniform is one of the ways in which we show pride in our identity as a school community. We want our pupils to regard their time in school as important and believe that wearing sensible and suitable clothes is a mark of respect for themselves and their school. With parental support, we can encourage our pupils to adopt the right attitude to learning and to school.

Dressing appropriately is part of that process. Part of our responsibility is to ensure that our children are “Secondary Ready,” and this includes the wider aspects of school life as well as the taught curriculum. Secondary schools, and many workplaces take a very firm approach to compliance with uniform rules and codes, and it is important that children follow these.

Having chosen Coleshill C of E Primary School, parents are ‘signing-up’ to all of our expectations for school uniform – including acceptable hairstyles, jewellery and accessories.

Logoed uniform items are available to order online via www.brigadeuniformdirect.uk.com. Uniform is not sold through school. Non-logoed items are widely available from supermarkets and high street retailers.

Children should wear:

• Emerald green school logoed sweatshirt or cardigan
• White polo shirt, blouse or shirt
• Skirts, trousers or smart knee length shorts in grey or black
• Green and white checked summer dresses may be worn during the summer term
• Black sensible shoes (NOT trainers, boots or heeled shoes) worn with plain black, grey or white socks or tights

Children also need:

• A named water bottle, filled with water only, no squash or juice
• A coat suitable for the season, e.g. warm, waterproof
• For Early Years children – a bag with spare clothes (pants, socks, uniform) in case of toileting accidents or getting wet or dirty during water or outdoor play
• A school logoed book bag

PE kit

Children should come into school wearing their PE kit on PE days. PE kit is un-logoed, unbranded and available from any major supermarket.

• Crew (round) neck plain white t-shirt (boys/girls/unisex)
  • Plain black PE shorts
  • Plain black tapered leg joggers – no branding or stripes, cuffed ankle for safety reasons
  • Plain black zip through hoodie – no branding or stripes
  • Basic sports trainers – not fashion or expensive trainers
  • Children wearing tights will need an extra pair of socks

Outdoor uniform

It is really important to remember that children are frequently outdoors for Forest School and Outdoor Play & Learning (OPAL) so need a coat and wellies as part of our uniform. We go outdoors in all weathers so please check that your child has these two important pieces of uniform. Dark coats are best as they will get dirty!

We have pre-loved uniform available by the Kids’ Club entrance, just ask a member of staff or the PTA.

Please find downloads below on the school uniform policy and where you can buy items from.
