Stranton's Uniform expectations

At Stranton Primary school, we believe that wearing a uniform fosters feelings of community spirit and pride for our children, promotes a sense of belonging and contributes to a positive learning environment.

Uniform Expectations 

Our uniform consists of the following: 

• Royal blue sweater/cardigan
• Red polo t-shirt
• Grey/black trousers/skirt (not leggings)
• Black shoes (not trainers or black trainers)
• Children will need a book bag to bring to school each day and they will also need a water bottle to keep in class.

PE Kit Expectations

PE kit consists of the following:

• Navy or black shorts
• A royal blue plain t-shirt (can be bought off Amazon)
• Black plimsolls or trainers (for indoor use only)
• Children will need a small bag to store their PE kit in school. 

Swimming is also a compulsory part of the National Curriculum for all children in Key Stage 2 so please ensure that your child comes into school with their full swimming kit. This includes:

• A swimsuit (not bikini)/ swimming trunks (not shorts)
• Swimming hat
• A towel.

If children would like to wear goggles, a note must be provided by parents.

For health and safety reasons, it is essential that your child is appropriately equipped for them to participate in PE/swimming lessons.

 Purchasing Uniform

All items of school uniform, can be purchased from any local supermarket and royal blue PE t-shirts can be purchased from Amazon. 

All items of school uniform, including an embroidery service can be purchased and personalised from ‘Logo to Go’ which is based on Tower Street, Hartlepool.

Alternatively, we have a pre-loved uniform rack for parents to use - this can be found in our family support centre.

You may also find some pre-loved uniform at 'Re-loved Clothing' which is situated on York Road. 

 Uniform Policy 

If children do not come into school wearing full uniform or without their PE kit, parents will be contacted and asked to drop off the correct items of clothing. 

If there is a reason behind your child not having the correct uniform/PE kit, please inform school and aim to rectify this as quickly as possible.

Please help us to maintain our high expectations and teach the children the value of wearing a uniform to increase their pride and confidence in their own appearance.

Jewellery Policy

At Stranton, we operate a strict no jewellery policy - this includes earrings. All jewellery must be removed for school. We strongly recommend that children have their ears pierced at the beginning of the summer holidays so they heal in time to return to school. If eaarings are worn for school, children will be asked to remove them.
