At Calcot Schools we think it important that the children wear school uniform in our ‘corporate colours’ i.e. our bright red tops look great.  Equally, we don’t get ‘fanatical’ if the red cardigan is from Sainsbury's or doesn’t have the school logo on as we know uniform is very expensive.

Items such as  grey shorts and trousers and gingham summer dresses can be purchased for a reasonable price at shops such as Marks and Spencer, Tesco, Sainbury’s and Next. Please make sure that all clothing is clearly and securely labelled – we gather many items of lost property which can’t be identified and returned to their owner every term.

PE kit

All children should bring their PE kit into school in a named bag and it should include: black plimsolls or trainers, a red t-shirt, plain white or black shorts and a change of socks if required. During the winter months when weather can be colder, all children can bring in tracksuit top, preferably without a hood and tracksuit bottoms.

In the interest of hygiene and safety, long hair should be tied back. The wearing of jewellery (except watches and stud earrings) is not permitted. These items must be removed for P.E., games and swimming by the children themselves.
