School Uniform
At Eastington we are really proud of our uniform – it is one of the ways we show we are a community that belong together. It should also make dressing in the morning an easier event for children and parents.
We know many families will want jumpers/T-shirts/hoodies with our school logo on and these can be purchased from Batemans in Stroud. We aim for our uniform to be practical and affordable as possible – we do not insist that uniform items carry our school logo so they can be purchased from many outlets/supermarkets.
Our uniform:
- Black, flat school shoes (no slip-ons or sliders)
- Black or grey trousers (not denim or fleece material)
- Black or grey knee-length skirts (not denim material)
- White polo shirt
- Red sweatshirt, jumper, or cardigan
- White, grey, or black socks, or black or grey tights
- A pair of wellington boots to be kept in school. This is a new addition to our uniform requirements, as we would like the children to make greater use of the field throughout the year.
For warmer weather
- Red and white checked dresses may be worn
- Black or grey shorts may be worn (not denim or fleece material)
Our uniform for PE in school and school sport clubs:
- Black shorts or jogging bottoms (if your child currently has red items, that is absolutely fine for now; however, as these are replaced, please move to black, which will be our standard colour going forward)
- Plain white T-shirts or Red T-shirts with school logo
- Plain black or red sweatshirts (school logo optional)
Please clearly name all items of uniform – it is the only way to ensure uniform items are return to their owners.
We do not allow jewellery such as rings/bracelets/necklaces, make-up or nail varnish to be worn to school.
Traditional watches are allowed, as are small stud earrings (though your child will need to be able to take them out for PE. If your child is not able to do this as ears have recently been pierced, please send your child in with some micropore tape so they can cover them.) Fitbits are allowed but not smart watches if they are linked to phones/have a camera facility.
In Reception/KS1, school book bags are really useful for children to carry books, letters and homework to and from school without damaging them, especially in Reception and Key Stage 1. These can be purchased from Batemans in Stroud.
If your child/ren are eligible for Free School Meals (not including Universal Infant Free School Meal), our wonderful PA will contribute to a set of uniform each year. Please talk with the Administration Officer in confidence about this.
