School Uniform
Our school uniform is royal blue and grey
In consultation with families, we have opted for the following main school uniform:
- Dark grey skirt/tunic with dark grey tights or socks (grey or white)
- Dark grey or black tailored trousers (not leggings)
- Royal Blue sweatshirt or sweat cardigan (with or without embroidered school badge)
- White school polo shirt
- In summer, a blue gingham dress may be worn with white socks
- Warm coats with reflector strips are available
- Plain, dark, (preferably black) sensible, flat heeled shoes for school
In addition
- Shaved hair including patterns are not acceptable in school. Natural hair colour only is acceptable. Hair should be tied back in certain lessons (i.e. P.E., cookery, art etc.) and any other situations where a risk assessment deems it to be placing individuals at risk.
- Children should not wear any jewellery as it poses a risk of injury, particularly through OPAL play or within P.E. lessons.
- The wearing of make-up, including nail varnish is also not discouraged.
- As per our Acceptable and Responsible Use of the Internet policy, we do not allow smart watches with camera or recording functions to be worn. Pupils may weather other smart watches such as FitBits.

This should be: old clothing which parents/carers don’t mind their child getting dirty or damaged. Note that children will wear this on top of their uniform for playtime and lunchtime, therefore we recommend that it be long sleeved and full leg length. Children should bring their OPAL kit with in them in to school each Monday in a drawstring bag and they will bring it home every Friday. |
Uniform with the school logo is available to buy from The School Outfit (also known as Little Gems) and can be bought online here, or in store which is located in Sunderland City Centre.
Uniform can also be ordered online from Emblematic here.
We have reduced the number of branded items available to minimise any expectations that all uniform is to be branded. We must stress that while branded uniform is available, it is not compulsory and non-branded uniform can be worn as long as it is in line with our uniform policy (e.g. from a supermarket or high street store).
Pre-Loved Uniform
In the past many families have donated clothing to the school, which is of an excellent condition, however no longer fits their child. As we recognise that children grow quickly and may damage clothing, we will be introducing a swap shop where we will ask for pre-loved uniform in good condition to be donated to school for other families to take. This is not only of a financial benefit to our families, but helps the environment too so we hope everyone will get involved.
If you have any uniform you would like to donate, please drop it in to the school office. Please cut names out but keep sizes if possible.
Thank you in advance for your support.
