At Galley Common Infant School, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps children feel part of our school community and promotes a sense of pride and belonging. We are committed to ensuring that our uniform is practical, comfortable and affordable for all families, in line with current Department for Education guidance on the cost of school uniforms.

Children wear their school uniform on three days each week and their PE uniform on two days each week. Parents and carers will be informed of their child's PE days at the start of the school year.

School Uniform

• Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan (branded or plain)
• Golden yellow polo shirt
• Grey trousers, shorts, skirt or pinafore dress
• White or grey socks or grey tights
• Black school shoes

During the summer term, children may also wear:

• Blue and white gingham dresses
• Grey shorts

For safety and comfort, we ask that children wear sensible footwear and come to school with appropriate hairstyles. Jewellery should not be worn, with the exception of small stud earrings.

PE Uniform

Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on PE days.

• Blue shorts or black shorts
• Blue or yellow PE T-shirt (with or without the school logo)
• Black tracksuit or jogging bottoms and sweatshirt for colder weather
• Suitable trainers for outdoor PE activities

For health and safety reasons, earrings must be removed before PE lessons wherever possible. If earrings cannot be removed, they must be covered securely with tape provided from home.

Purchasing School Uniform

We have deliberately kept branded items to a minimum to help reduce costs for families and to provide flexibility when purchasing uniform. Most items can be bought from supermarkets and high street retailers, while branded items remain optional for many garments in line with national guidance. [gov.uk], [gov.uk]

Branded uniform, book bags, PE bags and caps are available from:

• The Schoolwear Centre, Nuneaton
• Schoolwear Solutions: www.schoolwearsolutions.co.uk
• HUK Group: www.hukgroup.com

Plain alternatives purchased from local retailers are equally acceptable, including sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts and book bags.

Helping Us Reduce Lost Property

Please ensure that all clothing, footwear, bags and lunchboxes are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Children should also bring a coat or waterproof jacket to school every day, as learning and enrichment activities often take place outdoors throughout the year. Being prepared for the weather helps ensure that every child can fully participate in school life.

Thank you for supporting our uniform expectations and helping us create a smart, inclusive and positive learning environment for all children. 🌟
