School Uniform

 Pupils are required to wear school uniform at Gade Valley School.  As a school we feel that     wearing a uniform should be strongly re-enforced and we count on your support in this.

Pupils are expected to be neatly dressed for school.  All items of clothing should be marked with the pupil’s name.

• Navy sweatshirt (with or without our school logo)
• Navy cardigan (with or without school logo)
• Gold polo shirt (with or without school logo)
• Navy trousers (tailored) or navy shorts (tailored) if preferred
• Navy pinafore dress or skirt
• Navy or yellow gingham checked dress
• Navy, black, white or grey tights or socks.

    Shoes

• Smart black shoes
• No boots.

    Pupils may also bring trainers for playtimes.
    In the event of wet and muddy weather pupils could bring wellington boots.

   PE Kit

• Navy shorts and white t-shirt (crew or collared)
• Tracksuits in navy or dark colours, are useful for cold weather ie. Joggers / sweat tops / fleeces
• Your child will require trainers for PE.  All footwear for PE should fit securely to provide the best support.

    PE kit should be worn on PE days.

   Hair

  Hair styles and colour should also be simple and natural.  

  Hair must be held back from the face, either by use of a simple plain hair band (for short      hair) and an elastic band for longer hair.

  Jewellery

  The wearing of jewellery of any kind, including earrings and studs, is not permitted, except    where ears have been pierced.  In this case small gold or silver studs are allowed.  They          must be taped over for PE lessons and removed for swimming.

  Nail Polish, False Nails and Nail Extensions

  These must not be worn in any circumstance. 

  The school reserves the right to decide whether or not items of clothing, hair styles and        other items brought into school are appropriate for a place of education.
