Poringland Primary

School Uniform

School Uniform and Equipment

The school has a uniform based on combinations of blue, black, grey and white. Parents and Carers are requested to ensure that, as far as possible, children’s dress conforms to the requirements below. We would suggest you take account of our active school life and daily play outside involving our woodland climbing, slide and our woodland zip wire areas, when choosing uniform options. 

All items are available from several stores in Norwich. School sweatshirts and fleeces are available online from Price and Buckland (price-buckland.co.uk/schools). Book bags (for infants) can be purchased directly from the school. 

All children (from Nursery to Y6) require a change of clothes on their peg . Please note that we cannot provide spares in the event of a toileting accident, or if a child gets wet or muddy at playtime. 

Please do not send your child into school in lace ups if they are unable to tie them themselves.

One pair of simple stud earrings can be worn.

Simple watches for Y3-Y6 children only.

Other Jewellery should not be worn to school.

Please do not allow your child/ren to wear nail varnish or false nails to school.

All stationary is provided by school so children do not need to bring their own pencil cases/stationery into school.

Please ensure your child does not bring any valuables into school as we can not take responsibility for any lost items – thank you for your support with this.

Bookbags need to be in school everyday for Nursery to Y2 children only.  No key rings or anything other than books inside.

Uniform needs to be adhered to throughout the whole year.

Please note changes in uniform from EYFS to KS1

PLEASE NAME EVERYTHING!
