School Uniform

School Uniform

At Elmhurst, we believe that our uniform promotes a sense of identity, looks smart and encourages the children to take pride in both their appearance and the school.  We recognise, acknowledge and respect individual identity.  

School uniform is compulsory for all pupils at Elmhurst School.  Children are permitted to wear non-branded items (with the exception of the climacool PE t-shirt and, if worn, the school kameeze) providing non-branded items match the school colours.

Uniform may be adapted for children with SEND sensory needs or to meet a child's protected characteristics following consultation with the school SENDCo, Christabel Bunce.  

Elmhurst school uniform consists of the following items:

• Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan or fleece with or without school logo 

• Royal blue polo shirt with or without school logo

• Black skirt, trousers, pinafores or school shorts, skorts, culottes

• Plain black or white socks

• Bookbag with or without school logo (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2)

Optional Items

• Black kameeze with school logo (handmade kameezes are not permitted)

• Plain royal blue or black headwear e.g. hijab or turban

• Royal blue summer dress/skorts (in the summer term and first half of the autumn term)

PE Kit

Children in Nursery and Reception do not require PE kit.  Please note children in Year 1 - Year 6 wear PE kit to school at least one day per week so less other items are required.

For PE lessons, all children need:

• Royal blue climacool t-shirt with school logo (this is a branded item that is required by pupils in Years 1 - Year 6)

• Plain black/navy blue tracksuit trousers and a plain black/navy blue jumper (hoodies are not permitted) or royal blue fleece with or without school logo

• Plain black/navy blue shorts (for warmer weather)

• Trainers

Children in Year 5 also take part in fully funded swimming lessons.  Children are required to have the following items for these lessons:

• Swimming Costume
• Towel
• Swimming Hat
• Goggles (optional)
