--- title: "School Uniform Policy" url: "https://www.strathmore.herts.sch.uk/about-us/school-uniform-policy" school: "Strathmore Infant and Nursery School" --- Reception and Nursery Tours for 2027 Admissions Now Open - Please go to our Admissions page to book a space # School Uniform Policy ## Aims and Objectives Our policy on school uniform is based on the belief that school uniform: - Promotes a sense of pride in our school; - Helps to create a sense of community and belonging towards the school; - Identifies the children with the school; - Supports our commitment to inclusion; - Is practical, smart and designed with health and safety in mind; ### Expectations We expect all pupils to comply with this uniform policy, which will be monitored. Any pupil who does not follow our policy will be reminded by staff and parents will be informed and reminded also. ### The Role of Parents We believe that one of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, and that it is clean, in good repair and that the child’s name is written on all items. ### The Role of Governors The governing body supports the Headteacher in implementing the School Uniform Policy. It considers all representations from parents regarding the uniform policy and liaises with the Headteacher to ensure that the policy is implemented fairly and with sensitivity. It is the governors’ responsibility to ensure that the school uniform meets all regulations concerning equal opportunities. Governors ensure that the school Uniform Policy enables children to dress sensibly, in clothing that is hardwearing, safe and practical. ### Strathmore School Uniform The Strathmore School uniform colours are bright emerald green. ~We have adopted an active uniform approach which aligns with our OPAL at break and lunch times. The uniform promotes active learning during break and lunch times but is still very similar to a standard school uniform and should be adhered to as a normal uniform policy would. In the Nursery children are encouraged to wear a school sweatshirt and grey/black leggings or jogging bottoms. They are welcome to wear normal uniform. Pupils in Reception and Years 1 & 2 are expected to comply with the following: | **Active Uniform - all year round** | **PE Kit - to be worn on PE days** | |---|---| | Bright emerald green school sweatshirt or cardigan | Bright emerald green school sweatshirt or cardigan | | Black or grey jogging bottoms or leggings (plain) | Black or grey jogging bottoms, leggings or shorts (plain) | | Black or grey shorts (plain) | White or green collarless t-shirt (with or without school logo) | | White or green school t-shirt with collar (with or without school logo) | Trainers | | Trainers | | | Wellies and waterproof coats | | | Simple headbands and hair ties (preferably green or black). | | | Optional: Grey or black skirt, pinafore or trousers Green/White Gingham dress in the summer Waterproof trousers for break times | | **No jewellery is to be worn in school apart from plain studs.
