New Reception Starters September 2023
School Uniform
We have high expectations for all our children and are proud of our school uniform and logo. Wearing the school uniform is one obvious symbol that the children share these expectations. Extremes of fashion in clothes, footwear, hair styles or denim clothes are neither acceptable nor appropriate for school. Shoes should be appropriate and, for your child’s safety, high heels, sling backs and flip flops should not be worn, boots are acceptable in cold/wet weather. Long hair must be tied back at all times.
For Health and Safety reasons jewellery is not permitted with the exception of inexpensive watches and stud or sleeper earrings. Children will be asked to remove earrings for PE/Games. Please make sure that they are able to do this independently.
School uniform is available online at https://www.monkhouse.com/school/peatmoor-community-primary-school-urn-140289 or from their shop in Sanford Street, Swindon, SN1 1HE
