School Uniform

School uniform

 

We expect all of our children to wear our school uniform at all times as it helps to create a sense of identity and community while protecting them from social pressures to dress in a particular way. We are proud of our logo and wearing school uniform helps reinforce our sense of pride in, and belonging to, Bathampton Primary School.

 

Items which carry the school logo – sweatshirts, PE shirts, PE bags and book bags – are essential to our Bathampton school uniform.

 

School sweatshirts, PE shirts, PE bags and book bags may all be purchased from our supplier, Michael Hope, who is based in Box. You can order and pay for the items online and they will be delivered to your child in school, free of charge. Or they can be collected from their warehouse in Box directly if easier.

 

The uniform website is: http://michaelhope.co.uk. Please search for Bathampton school.

 

The remaining items of our uniform are available at many retailers and supermarkets, such as white polo shirts; grey or black tailored trousers, shorts, pinafores and skirts; navy cotton PE shorts; and blue checked dresses for the summer. Logos on polo shirts are optional.

 

In the event of financial hardship, where purchasing uniform becomes problematic, discreet support may be possible by arrangement with the head teacher. Please contact the school to make an appointment.

 

All clothes should be clearly labelled with the child’s name.

Forest School and Outdoor Wear.

Please see outlined below the recommended kit that your child should wear for all outdoor learning /Forest School sessions.

If your child does not come to school dressed appropriately for the weather they may be unable to get the most out of their learning or may be unable to take part in some activities.

Sessions will only be cancelled in extreme weathers and children should be equipped for changeable weather daily.

Everyday Kit  Your child should have these every Forest School or Outdoor learning session - No matter the weather.

  • Waterproofs - a fully waterproof coat is a must and trousers are advised
  • One pair of comfortable trousers (jogging bottoms or leggings) - Jeans are not permitted
  • Light long sleeved t-shirt
  • Fleece or warm jumper
  • Wellies or boots (which you don't mind getting wet and muddy!)
  • Old Clothes! Please don't come to school in your best clothes - These should be practical for being outdoors - it is not a non-uniform day. No football kits or expensive outfits
  • A pair of clean shoes to wear indoors

  • Waterproofs - a fully waterproof coat is a must everyday
  • Wellies or outdoor shoes - These need to be worn to access the field and woods on wet days.
  • A pair of outdoor trainers can be worn if your child wishes to play football or games on the field. This should be a separate pair on PE days
