Poringland Primary

School Uniform

School Uniform

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 suggestions below. We would suggest you take into 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 require a change of clothes (e.g. tracksuit) 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.

Other than watches and simple stud earrings, jewellery should not be worn to school.

Please do not allow children to wear nail varnish to school.

 

PLEASE NAME EVERYTHING!
