Uniform
Having the correct uniform is all part of the ‘belonging to the Leedstown School family’ process: children know they belong to our school community and this gives them a shared identity. There is no uniform for our preschool children.
We are rightly proud of the standard of uniform at Leedstown School, as you are very supportive as parents, in ensuring our standards are maintained and our children look smart at all times.
Uniform with the school logo can be purchased from Trophy Textiles in their shop (address below) or on their website https://www.trophytextiles.co.uk/

Wider uniform expectations:
All children MUST bring a coat to school each day (except in warm weather). The weather can be very variable but we still take children out to play when it is raining and we want to spend lots of time learning outdoors.
All hair (boys and girls) should be of a natural colour and if longer than shoulder length MUST be tied back every day to avoid children being distracted from learning and for health and safety reasons. Hair that is tied back must have minimal “accessories” (not fancy headbands) as these can be distracting for children.
Children are not allowed to wear jewellery such as necklaces and bracelets / friendship bands to school for health and safety reasons and to ensure good handwashing. Where earrings are worn they must be of a stud type and must be taken out / covered up for PE lessons. Fitness Trackers, that can connect to the internet, are not allowed to be worn by pupils in school as these present a safeguarding risk for pupils.
Please Note: Nail polish, make up, temporary tattoos, hair braiding, glitter decorations etc., are not suitable for school and we ask that all are removed from skin / hair before coming to school the next morning or after a holiday where these have been used.
Our PTA run second hand uniform sales throughout the year. If you would like to donate uniform at the end of this school year so that other families may benefit from the clothes, that your child has outgrown, it would be very much appreciated.
