Uniform
School Uniform
Attleborough Primary School requires all students to wear a school uniform. Our school uniform helps our pupils to feel part of our school community and has been chosen to be comfortable and appropriate for the activities pupils will undertake during the school day.
In the Autumn of 2021, the government issued new guidance to schools on uniform. The aim of this guidance is to minimise the cost of uniform for parents through a reduction in school branded items, allowing parents to purchase uniform from a wider range of suppliers.
Attleborough Primary School and the Sapientia Education Trust fully support making school uniform affordable and accessible for all children, and we have reviewed and changed our school uniform to reflect the requirements outlined in the statutory guidance.
There is no requirement for parents of Attleborough Primary to purchase any item of branded school uniform from any specific supplier. Parents will need to ensure that uniform follows the school requirements which are provided below, but can purchase uniform items from any retailer.

Whilst we have removed the requirement for branded uniform items, it is important that or uniform policy is followed to provide a shared identity for all pupils in our school.
Our uniform requirements are listed below:

Children should not wear jewellery (other than a watch), make-up or nail varnish at school. Those with piercings should only wear plain studs in the interests of safety and hygiene. These should be removed for PE and Games.
