Uniform & Appearance
All children must have full school uniform, worn correctly, for daily attendance at school.
Parents and carers are asked to co-operate fully by providing the uniform and ensuring children wear it correctly to and from school. A smart uniform is part of the culture at our school and an important aspect of our pastoral care. Some items are only available from the school’s supplier, County Schoolwear: www.countyschoolwear.co.uk/ashley
The Friends of Ashley also sell and accept donations of preloved (second-hand) uniform. Please click here for more information
All items should be clearly labelled with your child’s name, including shoes and trainers.
UNIFORM UPDATE FROM SEPTEMBER 2023
It has been agreed by the Senior Leadership Team that there will be a slight change to the uniform from September 2023. The government have proposed that uniform should be more accessible for families so these changes have been considered below so that you can purchase the non-logo items from other retailer.
Outerwear
In winter, children need a warm waterproof coat. In summer an anorak, mac, cagoule or similar should be brought to school.
Footwear
Shoes should be suitable for school wear enabling your child to play safely at break times. Children should not wear trainers or boots to school. Open-toed sandals and sling-backed shoes are not acceptable. Children may wear boots or wellingtons to school on wet and snowy days but must change into their school shoes when they arrive at school. Again, please ensure that all are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
All children must bring trainers to wear for PE lessons.
Personal Appearance
Shoulder-length hair should, for safety and hygiene reasons, be tied back from the face. Hair accessories should be plain in style and in school colours. Hair gel, mousse, nail varnish, temporary tattoos etc. should not be worn in school. Patterns should not be shaved into hair.
No jewellery should be worn to school. If children have pierced ears, only plain metal studs should be worn. They should leave their earrings at home and not wear them to school on the days when they have PE. If a child has just had their ears pierced, they should wear their earrings to school but must remove them by themselves for PE and should replace them immediately afterwards. This needs to take place for 6 weeks after piercing. Neither the school nor parents should tape up earrings.
