Smithy Bridge Primary School

To achieve, to grow, to smile, to dream

Uniform

We expect all children to wear a school uniform; this helps us all to feel proud to be part of the school community. 

The school holds a wide range of second hand uniform available at no charge. We aim to hold a uniform stall in school at least once a term where uniform, PE Kit items and accessories are available to all parents. If you require free uniform at short notice, please do not hesitate to call into the office and one of our office staff members will be happy to help.

 

Our School Uniform:

PE Kit

Indoor PE

  • Plain white t-shirt
  • Black shorts
  • Pumps / trainers

 

Outdoor PE Kit

  • Plain white t-shirt
  • Black or navy blue sweatshirt, hoodie or jacket
  • Black or navy blue jogging bottoms or leggings
  • Trainers

Children will need to change into appropriate clothes for such activities, so that their movement is not restricted by ordinary clothing. 

Please note that these activities are an important part of the curriculum of the school, and, therefore, are compulsory unless there is a valid medical reason for a child not to take part. Children should have correct kit at school on PE or Games days. 

Reception, Years 1 and 2 come to school, on their allocated PE days, dressed in their outdoor PE kit.  Year 3 - 6 children will continue to get changed at school.

 

Our school uniform can be purchased directly from Moses Schoolwear, based in Rochdale and many items can also be bought at most large supermarkets.

Water bottles and school ties can be bought from the school office.

 

Hair styles and Hair Accessories

Hairstyles should be reasonable and appropriate for being in a learning environment at school. Hair should be tied back if long, especially for PE and DT lessons. We do not allow statement hair styles in school, neither do we permit the wearing of hair accessories which are large, which hang around the face or which are particularly noticeable. 

Footwear

Shoes should be black and not trainers, boots may be worn when the weather turns colder, but we do ask that the children change when inside.

Jewellery

 Children with pierced ears may wear small, plain stud type earrings which must be removed for P.E. or games lessons. No other type of jewellery may be worn from a wristwatch may be worn.  Wristwatches are worn at your risk but smart watches are not permitted.

Please ensure ALL items of clothing are labelled as we only keep lost property for a limited time, including packed lunch boxes.
