Uniform Requirements at Village Primary Academy

Uniform

 Pupils should wear:

• a royal blue sweatshirt/cardigan (with or without embroidered logo) 
• a white shirt/blouse (polo shirt accepted)
• grey or black skirt/trousers/shorts
• white/grey /black socks or tights
• sensible footwear preferably black, grey or dark blue, including trainers
• fleeces with embroidered logo are also acceptable
• blue checked dress in warmer weather
• black sensible shoes (without heels)

Hair accessories should be co-ordinated with the academy uniform and should not be overly excessive.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, we expect all our pupils to be able to fully engage in both indoor and outdoor play based learning. We encourage children in Nursery and Reception to bring Wellies and waterproofs wherever possible. They may also wear jogging bottoms or leggings in navy blue or black during the usual academy day.

PE Kit

All pupils wear:

• a white t-shirt
• Black shorts or leggings for indoor PE
• dark jogging bottoms or leggings for outdoor PE (shorts may be worn in hot weather)
• a dark sweatshirt/ hoodie if needed
• socks
• PE pumps for indoor PE, suitable trainers for outdoors
• swimming costume / swimming trunks, towel and swimming cap for those pupils attending swimming lessons

All pupils must change into the appropriate PE Kit for physical activities.  This should currently be done at home on a PE day. 

Pupils should not wear earrings for PE.  If stud earrings are worn, they must be removed for P.E for health and safety reasons. The child must take out their own earrings for P.E, but if this is not possible, then they must not be worn to school on the day of P.E.
