Uniform

Changes to school uniform from September 2022

From September 2022 there will be no requirement for parents of Surlingham Primary School 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 stocks last, parents are welcome to continue to purchase and use branded items and there is no expectation that parents will need to replace branded items with non-branded items. However, the school will not be ordering any additional branded items from suppliers.

Surlingham Primary School also encourages all parents to share unwanted items, branded or unbranded, using the School’s Uniform Exchange service that happens several times throughout the academic year.

If you are struggling to access any item of uniform during the school year, please contact the school office for guidance and support.

Hair and Jewellery

If hair is longer than shoulder length it should be tied back at all times – please ensure a spare hair band is kept in the school bag.
Jewellery: watch only on wrist. For pierced ears, simple studs only may be worn – please ensure the children do not wear studs to school on a day that they have PE as we are not allowed to assist children in removing their earrings.

We ask parents not to send pupils to school wearing jeans, tracksuits, trainers, necklaces, bracelets, tattoos, nail varnish.

Please ensure that all items are clearly marked with the name of your child.
