Principles
East Hunsbury Primary School’s policy is that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning and positive ethos. We also believe that a uniform can provide children with a sense of community and that certain school activities are supported by specialised and appropriate clothing, including organised events outside normal school hours, Physical Education and the Arts. For children with SEND including sensory needs, careful consideration will always be given to the most suitable uniform for them and adaptations, where necessary, and agreed with school and home, may be made.
Aims
Our policy is based on the belief that a school uniform:
- promotes a sense of pride in the school
- engenders a feeling of belonging
- is practical and distinctive
- identifies the children with the school
- is not distracting in class (as fashion clothing might be)
- makes children feel equal to one another in terms of appearance
- reflects the sense both of community and of diversity that the school takes pride in
- is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by the vast majority of families

Where to buy our uniform
Logoed uniform/PE Kit can be purchased from the Jules @ Home website or by emailing Jules@Home or from Trutex directly. If you order direct from Trutex, please use LEA00464PA in the LEA code box. Some elements of our uniform can be purchased from Jenny Black at SJS Uniforms
If you are purchasing your own PE kit from a retailer of your choice e.g. Tesco, please ensure that all items are PLAIN black.
We also regularly sell pre-loved uniform. For more information about this contact Friends of East Hunsbury Primary School
If your child is in receipt of the Pupil Premium Grant, they will be allocated £50 which can be used towards the cost of trips, clubs and resources such as school uniform. For more information about this please contact Mrs Long our School Business Manager.
What will happen if my child comes to school wearing the incorrect uniform?
If your child does not come to school in the correct uniform their class teacher will phone home to ask you to either bring in the correct item of uniform or ensure that they wear the correct uniform the next time it is required. If necessary, a timescale might be agreed to allow you to acquire the necessary uniform.
If your child repeatedly does not wear the correct uniform then a member of the Senior Leadership Team will call home to discuss further and appropriate sanctions may be imposed.
It is our priority to always work closely with families to ensure that there are no barriers to wearing the correct uniform and we will support in any way that we can.
