School Uniform

We are very proud of the appearance of our pupils.  Our uniform is a symbol of belonging to Stourfield Junior School and underlines the sense of community we seek to develop.  We see it as a clear statement of identity both inside school and when we are on educational visits away from site.  The children should take pride in their appearance and present a positive image for our school.  We ask for your support in this matter.

Academic Year 2024-25 - new uniform

• All new Year 3 pupils should start at the Junior School in our new school uniform.
• For all other year groups, there is a 12 month transition period in place.
• Pupils already at Stourfield Junior School do not need to buy a new school PE tribe t-shirt. There is no change to these apart from it saying Stourfield rather than Stourfield Juniors. These will suffice for the duration of their time with us, irrespective of the transition period. A plain t-shirt in the right colour for your child’s tribe is also acceptable.
• As above, the school cardigan has not changed except for the updated text saying 'Stourfield' under the badge.  Therefore, an old-style cardigan saying Stourfield Juniors is acceptable.
• We are waiting for the delivery of a sew on badge of our logo as suggested by some parents.  We will notify you when these can be purchased through the school office.
• Only the branded sweatshirt needs to be bought from Stevensons. All other items can be bought from any other supplier of your choice.

Children of parents in receipt of certain benefits may be entitled to a clothing grant in the form of a voucher which may be redeemed at Stevensons in Southbourne.  Please contact the school office in the first instance.

Footwear guidance
We expect pupils to wear sensible, school shoes and not trainers in school.  We also ask for your support in controlling the size of heel as a matter of health and safety.  We do not allow children to wear open-toed sandals, boots, sling back or mule type shoes which do not support the ankle.  Trainers are not allowed (except for use in PE/Games lessons or when using the MUGA).

 

Jewellery, Hair and Make-up
A simple analogue or digital watch may be worn.  Smart watches and fitbits are not permitted to be worn, but can be kept in bags during the school day.
Children are permitted to wear simple, small stud earrings.  They must be able to remove them or tape them up for P.E. or preferably not wear them on a P.E. day.
Children arriving in school with other items of jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets and rings will be asked to remove them.
Make-up is not considered appropriate for school and this includes nail varnish.  Children wearing either make-up or nail varnish will be given removal wipes so that it can be taken off.
Pupils should avoid extremes of hairstyles and hair should be grade 2 or above in length, with no patterns or ridges shaved in.
Children are expected to retain their natural hair colour.
Hair braids and extensions are NOT permitted.  If fitted during a holiday period, the braids should be removed before the beginning of the new term.
Hair accessories should be simple.
Shoulder length and longer hair must be tied back at all times in the interests of health and safety and to stop the spread of head lice.  This applies to both girls and boys.
