School Uniform
The school dress code is based on the royal blue sweatshirts provided through the School Association. An order form showing the full range of items is available below.
TOP: Sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan in royal blue with school logo, shirt, blouse, t-shirt, polo shirt in royal blue/white
DRESSES: Plain royal blue or blue/white stripes/checks
BOTTOMS: Trousers, shorts, skirts, jogging bottoms, leggings in royal blue, navy, black or grey. No denim jeans.
FOOTWEAR: Flat black shoes (with back or heel retaining strap), trainers, daps/plimsolls. Not plastic 'jelly' shoes as these tend to have slippery soles.
HAIRSTYLE: No excessive hairstyles or hair colours. This includes expensive hair accessories, such as jojo bows, which have the possibility of being damaged in school.
In the summer children are encouraged to wear hats at playtimes to minimise the damaging effects of the sun. We do not allow skimpy clothing or crop tops even when it is very hot. T-shirts with inappropriate slogans are also strongly discouraged.
PE/Games Kit
On the days when the children have PE or games, they will be expected to wear their PE kit into school.
Please could all parents ensure that children come to school in correct PE Kit.
- T-shirt in their house colour (this could be green, red, blue or yellow - whichever colour they wore for Sports Day)
- Dark coloured shorts
- Jogging bottoms or unpatterned leggings.
- In the winter a plain jumper (a school jumper is also fine) and plain plimpsolls or trainers.
Children are not permitted to wear jewellery during PE/Games for safety reasons, and the school cannot accept responsibility for such items if they are brought to school. Small studs are permitted but you should realise that even these present some risk to children. Children may only be excused from PE lessons because of temporary illness or injury, in which case a note should be sent to the class teacher explaining the reason and duration of the exclusion. Written medical evidence is required if a child is to be excused on a long-term basis. The same applies to swimming, which is part of our Curriculum.

All of the items with the school logo on can be purchased online on the School Association website www.pta-events.co.uk/horfield .
