Locks Heath Junior School Uniform Policy

We strongly believe that the standard of dress is an important factor in maintaining the ethos and high standards of behaviour for which the school is noted.  To feel a sense of community and belonging to Locks Heath Junior School, we would encourage whenever possible for children to wear uniform bearing the Locks Heath logo. 

Children will be discouraged from wearing items of clothing that do not conform to the uniform code and will be encouraged to look smart and orderly while they are in school.  We would ask that children’s hair is not braided, bleached, shaved or overly styled in anyway, as we feel these compromise the ethos of the school.  If you are unsure, please discuss with the Headteacher to check for suitability.  Discretion lies solely with the Headteacher.

There is no obligation for parents to purchase uniform with the school logo, or to purchase from any specific retailer.  Many retailers offer uniform in the school colours.  If you intend to purchase uniform with a logo, this can be easily purchased from Skoolkit website: www.skoolkit.co.uk

Parents of children with specific diagnosed additional needs can apply to the school for exceptions to uniform where this is in the best interest of the child. 

County regulations do not permit jewellery to be worn for physical education.  Earrings must be removed for any sports activity, including swimming lessons.

PE clothing should not be worn to school.  PE kits and swimming kits should be brought into school on PE days in a marked bag.  Changing for PE is an important skill that children will require as they move into their secondary education. Due to the lack of storage space, we do not allow children to bring large kit bags or rucksacks.

All children must wear a swimming hat whilst partaking in swimming lessons.

All uniform, including coats must be clearly marked with the owner’s name.

Smart watches are not permitted, nor any devices that have the capacity to take photos.
