Cliftonville Primary School & Pre-School Soaring to success. Every child. Every day.
Uniform
We hope all children feel that wearing their Cliftonville uniform is a badge of pride, creating an identity for our school and bringing together our whole community. We are very grateful to the support from our parents and carers who ensure that children have the correct uniform on every day. Our Parent Support Workers, in the Hub House, keeps a stock of good quality second-hand items which helps to keep costs down for our families. Children must not wear trainers to school; all children must have black school shoes. On PE days, children must wear their school PE kit ( not football kits etc).
We have invested in lockers for all the children, so that they can be supported in looking after their belongings.
Hair cuts should be age appropriate and suitable to the school environment – hair should not be dyed, unless temporarily for non school uniform days, and short hair should not have patterns or words shaved into it.
This wording was suggested by our Parents' Forum and agreed by the Senior Leadership Team.
Just to clarify, PE kit for all children is as follows:
- black shorts or joggers
- white t-shirt
- school jumper
- school shoes or trainers (we are not insisting on black trainers)
- no earrings or taped earrings
Our school uniform
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Name EVERY item to include shoes, coats, backpacks, lunchboxes
- Use a permanent marker or special laundry pen. Biro washes out.
- Use your child’s full name ie Peter Smith. In a school of our size there will be lots of children with the initials P.S or Peter S
Children move around the building to go to sets, the library, assembly and out on the field/playground. Unless items are labelled correctly we have very little chance of re-uniting them with your child. It is also, understandably, frustrating for parents who are trying to find labelled uniform amongst a huge box of unnamed items. Every child has a named locker and between staff and parents we need to teach them to take responsibility for their belongings. If, by mistake, you end up with someone else’s named uniform at home, please return it the next day.
WE CANNOT STORE UNNAMED LOST PROPERTY.
IF IT ISN’T NAMED AND IT ISN’T CLAIMED IT WILL BE THROWN AWAY.
Second hand uniform
If you are in need of any second hand uniform please email our parent support advisors on psa@cliftonvilleprimary.co.uk and say what you would like. They will get back to you about availability and when you can pick up. Items are 50p each, if you could put correct money in an envelope as we do not handle any money due to Covid restrictions.
