School Uniform

Here at Brooke Primary School, we encourage pupils to wear school uniform in the hope that this will enable all children to feel equal and respected whilst they are in school.

As a school which prides ourselves on inclusive and equitable practice, we firmly believe that the work that The Children's Society have done to Cut the Cost of School Uniform for families of children in school has been vital. For further information on what this means in our school, please see: https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/what-we-do/our-campaigns/cut-the-cost-school-uniforms.

If you would like to discuss the implications of this further, our office staff and senior leaders are always open to further conversations. Please contact us through the school office.

All uniform, with the school logo, can be purchased online from Stevensons - www.stevensons.co.uk

Equipment

During the first three years at school your child will be provided with all necessary writing equipment pencils, crayons, rulers etc.  If the children wish to provide their own they may, but it is not essential. In Key Stage 2, may come to school equipped with coloured pencils, felt-tipped pens, erasers, ruler, pencil sharpener and a handwriting pen (not a biro pen). Children should have a bag to carry books and school equipment.

Jewellery and Watches

In line with health and safety regulations, no jewellery is allowed except for one pair of smooth flat ear studs. The wearing of jewellery because of religious reasons is permitted, such as kara bracelets for Sikh students. If you are unsure if the item of jewellery you would like to wear is permitted, please speak to a member of staff.

Pupils may wear watches, not smart watches, but the school accepts no responsibility for loss or damage.
