Uniform

Uniform

We have a dress code at The Galfrid School which we encourage all children to follow. The expectation for pupils is:

• Grey school trousers, grey shorts or grey skirt

• A white polo shirt or a formal shirt and school tie

• Dark grey school jumper 

• Black school shoes 

• In summer: as above, or optional white and pale blue school dress

We offer branded uniform for those who wish to purchase it, but it's not compulsory, plain, unbranded clothing that meets the following guidelines is completely fine.

We ask that, for safety reasons, children do not wear jewellery other than one pair of plain ear studs.

PE and Swimming

To ensure children get the most from their PE lessons it is important that they are dressed appropriately. School PE kit is as follows:

• Black shorts - Please email the office to order 
• White t-shirt
• Black trainers or pumps
• Black tracksuit bottoms in winter
• The Galfrid School PE sweatshirt - Please email the office to order

For swimming, children will need a swimsuit. Hair will also need to be tied back.

Every child should have black shorts, a white t-shirt and a pair of plimsolls. It is useful to have a warm tracksuit and trainers as PE takes place throughout the year and we are outside as much as possible. PE kit should be kept in a bag which is clearly labelled with the child’s name.

All school clothes, bags and footwear need to be clearly labelled to ensure children end the day with the same outfit they started with.

Hair should always be tied back. All jewellery should be removed, including earrings.

OPAL

As an OPAL school, we go outside to play in all weather conditions, with the exception of during thunderstorms and high winds.

In winter pupils need:

• wellies or waterproof shoes / boots
• a waterproof (not ‘showerproof’) coat
• waterproof trousers if possible
• a hat, scarf and gloves
• a named change of clothes to keep in school (including socks). This is especially important for younger children.

In summer pupils need:

• a hat
• suncream

For Wildwood, pupils need:

• a long-sleeved t-shirt
• a jumper
• trousers
• wellies or waterproof shoes / boots
• a waterproof (not ‘showerproof’) coat if it is likely to rain
• waterproof trousers if possible
• a hat, scarf and gloves (according to the weather)
• socks to wear with wellies

Note that trousers and long-sleeved tops are required all year round to protect children from bites and stings.
