Uniform Information

School Uniform

Berkswich CE Primary School believes that a consistent, fair, and inclusive school uniform policy is vital to promote the Christian ethos of the school and foster a strong sense of belonging, common identity, and pride for all pupils, regardless of protected characteristics or socio-economic circumstances.

Pupils learn most effectively and achieve their best educational outcomes when they are comfortable, able to be themselves, and dressed in a manner setting an appropriate tone for learning.

Our Uniform policy ensures that uniform is affordable, accessible, flexible, and provides maximum value for money for all families.

Our colour scheme is bottle green for cardigans and jumpers and grey for skirts or trousers. A sensible style of black shoe (no small or high heels) should be worn.  A school tie is worn at all times; there are elasticated versions for younger pupils and clip-on ties available.

Changes During the Year

During the Autumn and Spring terms, we have a preference for shirts with an appropriate collar to accommodate a tie. During the Summer term, short sleeved shirts and grey shorts or checked green and white school uniform dresses are acceptable.

Nursery and Reception - Puddle Suits

Children in Nursery and Reception are also required to have a puddle/splash suit in school. This is worn for certain outdoor activities, such as forest school sessions. We encourage parents and carers to purchase previously-loved suits; many choose to buy a bigger size so that the suit lasts for the duration of the Early Years. Any unwanted suits at the end of Reception may be donated to school. These will be passed on to new starters or to children who have grown out of their suit during the Early Years.

Swimming - Key Stage Two

Key Stage Two children will swim during the year and will need a one-piece costume/trunks (shorts and bikinis are not allowed) and a swimming cap for girls and boys with long hair. Parental permission must be given for the use of goggles.

Jewellery

The wearing of jewellery in school is not allowed for health and safety reasons. Children who have pierced ears should only wear unobtrusive studs to school and should be able to remove them themselves for PE lessons. If they cannot do this, then they must not wear them to school on PE days or they will be unable to participate in this lesson. Since PE is a legal requirement, all children should be able to take part. Please bear this in mind if your child is intending to have their ears pierced try to arrange this at the beginning of the Summer holidays when they can be left in for a sustained period of time.

Pre-Loved Uniform

To promote sustainability and support families with uniform costs, the school operates a comprehensive Second-Hand Uniform Scheme which is led by The Friends of Berkswich School (PTA).

  • Parents/carers are encouraged to donate an outgrown uniform to FOBS, this should be dropped off at the school office.
  • FOBS hold seasonal sales of pre-loved uniforms during school PTA events and during pop-up sales on the playground at home-time. All items are priced at £2 each (2026-27 pricing).
  • Parents can also place uniform orders through the FOBS email PTA@berkswich.staffs.sch.uk
