School Uniform
Uniform gives our children a sense of pride and belonging; it supports positive behaviour and discipline and supports the ethos of our school.
Our uniform is currently supplied through www.schoolshopdirect.co.uk. In addition to this, our PTA, FoTS (Friends of Tushingham School) stock a wide range of pre-loved uniform and this can be purchased through www.friendsoftushingham.org.uk/shop/pre-loved-uniform/2
Our school uniform consists of:
• a royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan with school logo (purchased from School Shop Direct)
• a royal blue polo-shirt (school logo optional)
• dark grey trousers/shorts/dark grey skirt/dark grey pinafore or blue and white checked dress
• plain white, black or grey socks or tights
• plain, black school shoes (not trainers)*
*Trainers may be worn at playtimes; they must be brought in to school in a bag which is then placed on their peg.
PE UNIFORM
• a yellow T-shirt with school logo (purchased from School Shop Direct)
• a pair of navy-blue sports shorts (no cycling shorts)
• Navy-blue tracksuit bottoms/leggings during the colder months
• a royal blue school PE hoodie with logo (optional) if children do not have a PE hoodie then a school jumper or cardigan should be worn
• black, white or blue trainers
All children are encouraged to bring a cap/hat for outdoor play during sunny weather.
Make-up, fake nails and nail varnish are not allowed.
Book bags are to be used for bringing books to school and not rucksacks/backpacks.
Uniform and children's belongings should be clearly marked with your child's name as it is easier to locate if it goes astray! Whilst every effort is made to trace lost property and to encourage children to look after their own property. Parents are asked to note the school cannot accept responsibility for the loss of personal property at school.
Jewellery, rings and earrings, other than studs, are not allowed. In the interest of safety, no jewellery of any variety is permitted during PE sessions. If stud earrings cannot be taken out, then children cannot participate in PE lessons. Older children may wear watches, but not a smart watch such as an Apple Watch. These remain their own responsibility.
We ask that children's hairstyles are appropriate for school. There should be no extreme styles, including tram lines. Long hair must be tied back, as this is practical for most school activities. Hair accessories should be royal blue, black or white and appropriate for school with minimum detail.
Forest School clothing Guidance
All our Forest School sessions take place outdoors, so it’s important that children come dressed appropriately for the weather. We recommend old clothes, as activities are hands-on and may involve mud, water, and natural materials.
Children should bring wellies (in a named bag) to change into at the start of each session.
As sessions run in all weather—rain or shine—please ensure your child is prepared for the day’s conditions. This may include:
- A waterproof coat and trousers (if available)
- A hat, gloves, and scarf in colder weather
- Sun cream and a sun hat in warmer weather
Being properly dressed helps children stay comfortable and get the most out of their Forest School experience.
