PLEASE LABEL ALL CLOTHES WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME.

Due to Health and Safety considerations, the Governors have agreed
on the following guidelines:

· School shoes:  These should be sturdy and either black. Heels should not be higher than 2 cm.

· Sandals: These may be worn in summer provided that they are sturdy and closed toe style.

· Plimsolls/Trainers: Parents will need to monitor the growth rate of their child’s feet on a regular basis to ensure that footwear is of an appropriate size at all times.

· Jewellery: Jewellery is not allowed in school, with the exception of the following:

o        Small ear studs only are permissible.
o        Watches may be worn (fitbits are permitted but are the responsibility of the child and parent)

All jewellery needs to be removed during PE lessons. Parents need to ensure that children can remove earrings independently and we would like to remind parents that if you are getting your child’s ears pierced to do this at a time when it will cause least disruption to PE lessons and least distress to the child.

No responsibility can be taken by the school if any jewellery items are lost.

Buying Uniform:

School uniform can be purchased direct from our supplier, Nationwide School Uniforms, please click on the following link to see items available:  https://www.nationwideschooluniforms.co.uk/school-uniform/primary-school/navenby-church-of-england-primary-school .

There is no minimum order and goods can be delivered to your home or to the school (if delivering to school please ensure the order has your or your child's name on). Prices may vary slightly from those when buying at school and there will be a delivery charge. To order simple visit Nationwide's website, then select Find My School and follow the instructions.

The school holds a very limited supply of fleece jackets, sweatshirts and cardigans and red PE T-shirts for size guides in the main school office. We also supply reading folders and PE bags with the school logo on and water bottles. The main office is open between 8.45am and 4pm every day.

We appreciate that buying uniform can be expensive which is why we will not insist that children wear school branded uniform, but to wear uniform according to our policy.  Wearing a uniform brings a sense of belonging to our school and also removes the competitive/expensive branded clothes some children may choose to wear.

We also have a rail outside the school office of second hand uniform which is available for any child that needs it.
