School Uniform Policy

Uniform

We wear our uniform and encourage all children to wear it with pride, since it signifies that they belong to the Hatherley family. We believe that a smart uniform plays a key role in:

  • Promoting the ethos of our school
  • Providing our children with a sense of belonging and identity
  • Setting an appropriate tone for education in our school

We provide a complete list of items needed for children's school uniform in this policy and our website.

In line with the latest legislation (September 2026), our policy meets the new requirement, which limits the number of compulsory branded items and PE kit to 3 or fewer as detailed below. Please note that our only request for a branded item is our school jumper/cardigan, though this is optional. 

 

​ ​ ​    ​ ​

 

Daily School Uniform

  • Blue jumper or cardigan (preferably branded with the school logo)
  • Grey trousers, grey shorts, grey skirt, grey pinafore (non-branded)
  • White polo shirt or white shirt/blouse (non-branded)
  • Blue gingham dresses (non-branded)

PE Kit

  • Shorts, preferably black or navy (non-branded)
  • T-shirt/polo shirt, preferably white or pale blue (non-branded)
  • A pair of trainers, plimsolls or daps (non-branded)
  • P.E. bag to keep kit in (non-branded)

Footwear

  • Black shoes with flat heel (non-branded)
  • If it is a wet day and your child needs to wear wellies, please make sure that they have normal school shoes to change into.

Please note, sensible footwear is essential to maintain the safety of all pupils. Flip Flops are not safe and should not be worn.

Optional Clothing

  • Waterproof coat
  • Blue Fleece (branding optional)
  • Book Bag/backpack (branding optional)

Pre-loved uniform

We have quality pre-loved uniforms available from our pre-loved rail in school. All we ask for in return is a voluntary donation (whatever is available to you) and that you give these items a loving home. 

Branded Items

Please note that whilst we would like all children to wear a branded jumper or cardigan, it is not essential. Book bags and waterproof coats can be purchased at your discretion.

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds, children should not wear jewellery to school. The exceptions to this are stud pierced earrings. To ensure our pupils have the safest experience in their PE lessons, jewellery must be removed  or covered. Younger children may struggle to remove and replace earrings themselves. In this case, it is advisable for them not to wear earrings on PE days.

The following items are not permitted.

  • jeans or tracksuit bottoms
  • Other coloured sweatshirts, jumpers or cardigans
  • Heeled shoes
  • Flip Flops

Lost property

Lost property will be put in the lost property box, which is readily available in school. We shall endeavour to return named items to individuals as they are found. 

We kindly ask that you label your child's name on all clothing, PE kit, bags and footwear.
