• Dark blue sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without the school logo)
• White or light blue shirt or polo shirt
• Black or grey trousers or shorts
• Black or grey skirt, pinafore or culottes
• Blue gingham dress (optional in warmer weather)
• Grey, navy, black or white socks or tights
• Black school shoes or plain black trainers (no crocs, heels or coloured trainers)
• Black boots are allowed in the winter months.  However, they should not have heels, excessive zips and buckles and no decorative additions.

PE Kit

• Plain white t-shirt (polo or round neck)
• Plain black, navy or grey shorts
• Plain black or navy tracksuit/jogging bottoms, leggings, plain black or navy sweatshirt or fleeces (for outdoor PE in colder weather)
• Dark pumps or trainers

Additional PE notes:

• No jewellery is allowed to be worn during PE lessons
• Earrings must be removed, or children must be able to remove them independently to engage in PE.
• Staff are not permitted to take earrings out for children for PE lessons.
• Earrings cannot be taped over for health and safety reasons. If earrings cannot be removed, a child cannot take part in any PE or sporting activity.
• If a child cannot take part in a PE lesson, they will still be expected to attend the session so they can still hear the theory, learn the rules and engage in evaluation of the sport, rules or competitors.
• Long hair should be tied back for safety and hygiene reasons during PE.
• No jewellery, except for small stud earrings and watches, can be worn in school (and these must be removed for PE).
• If you wish for your child to have their ears pierced, we kindly ask that this is done at the beginning of the summer holidays. This allows sufficient time for healing and ensures there is no disruption to PE lessons during term time. Once healed, earrings can be removed easily, avoiding any issues for both the child and staff.
• Logos and slogans on PE t-shirts, hoodies or jumpers are not allowed.
• Football and sports shirts are not permitted for PE lessons.

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits and footwear on designated PE days (which are listed on class pages and WEDUC posts). Children may be asked to change into washed pre-loved uniform or spare kit, if they do not have their PE kit, can’t engage in PE sessions or do not have the right PE kit (listed above).

Sweatshirts, cardigans, fleece jackets, showerproof jackets, PE kits and book bags embroidered with the school logo can be ordered directly from our supplier, Loop Schoolwear.  The link to view and purchase our uniform is https://www.loopwear.co.uk/find-your-school/greasleybeauvaleprimary

Please note that it is not compulsory for children to wear uniform with the school logo. However, all uniform should be in line with the school colours.

OPAL Clothing (Outdoor Play and Learning)

Children will be engaging in outdoor play activities in all weather conditions, including rain and wind. It is essential that pupils come to school adequately. This includes (weather dependent)

• Waterproof coat or jacket 
• Waterproof trousers or all-in-one suits for younger children or those who enjoy messy play
• Wellington boots (wellies) 
• Warm layers 
• Hat and gloves
• A water bottle
• Suntan cream 
• Sunglasses 
• Sun hat 
• Tops with sleeves  (no vest tops or crop tops for PE and OPAL)

We recommend keeping a set of waterproofs and wellies at school where possible.  If children do not have wellies for wintery, wet playtimes, they will not be able to go on the field and engage in play where they may get muddy and wet.

Can you please ensure that all uniform, including shoes and trainers, are clearly marked with your child’s name to ensure that if any item is misplaced it can be returned to you.  We do have a large amount of lost property each term and this is the only way to ensure that items are returned to the correct person. Any unnamed items are kept in the lost property boxes.  At the end of each term, any items that remain unclaimed are donated to charity

We do also have a small number of pre-loved items for sale.  If you would like to request any, please use the following link to complete the form:  https://forms.microsoft.com/e/aXib807wh0   Please note, we do not have all items and sizes in stock and will let you know if we are not able to supply the items you have requested
