The Downs has a school uniform policy and it is expected that all children will wear school uniform, with the exception of the children in our nursery class. We believe this fosters a feeling of school identity and promotes a sense of pride in being part of the school community. 

If you prefer to buy plain school uniform in the school colours without the school logo you are welcome to do so.

The school colours are royal blue, grey and white and school uniform style clothing is required. Any combination of the following would be appropriate; -

If trainers are worn, we do ask that they be plain black without obvious or bright trim or logos please. 

Children should not wear any jewellery for safety reasons, as it can be a hazard in the playground or in P.E. Children may wear one set of small ear-studs and a plain watch. We cannot be held responsible for any loss of jewellery or personal items.

P.E. Uniform

All children are required to participate in physical education. It is essential that all children have a PE kit in school at all times for them to be able to fully take part in P.E. activities and to ensure that they remain safe and comfortable.  No jewellery, including earrings, can be worn during P.E.

Any combination of the following is acceptable: -

• White t-shirt or t-shirt in the child’s house colour (Dragon - red; Griffin - Green; Lion - Yellow; Unicorn - Blue)
• Black, navy or royal blue shorts 
• Trainers/plimsoles (children should not be wearing their school shoes for PE)
• Optional - joggers and/or sweatshirt (grey/black/navy)
• Swimming kit for Years 5 and 6 including a swimming hat for long hair. (Letters will be sent out before starting.)
