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 however, there is no obligation to do this and plain versions are also acceptable. 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

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 bleached, shaved or overly styled in anyway, as we feel these compromise the ethos of the school. Any hair longer than shoulder length should be tied back for reasons of health and safety. If you are unsure, please discuss with the Headteacher to check for suitability.  Discretion lies solely with the Headteacher.

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. 

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

In times of prolonged hot weather, uniform may be relaxed and you will be notified of this via email.

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