Uniform

Nursery

The Nursery uniform consists of a T-shirt or sweatshirt complete with the Thorn Grove Primary School logo.  T-shirts are available in red or blue and sweatshirts are available in blue. Children can wear their own trousers with their T-shirt or jumper, although school trousers, skirt or dress are also fine. We recommend tracksuit bottoms or leggings as these are most comfortable and easy for the children to dress themselves.

The uniform is  available to purchase from the  school office or directly from the Nursery department.

Main School

The wearing of school uniform is compulsory from Reception to the end of Year 6.  There are many advantages – it looks smart, it gives children a greater sense of belonging to the school community and makes them more readily identifiable when together on educational visits.  Parents find it serviceable and a sensible option for ‘fashion conscious’ children.

Girls:

• Grey skirt or pinafore dress
• Grey cardigan or V-neck sweater (blue trim)
• White or blue blouse
• School tie
• Black shoes (not trainers or Doc Martins)

In summer, a dress (blue and white check) may be worn as an alternative to winter uniform.

Boys:

• Grey trousers or shorts
• Grey V-neck sweater (blue trim)
• White, blue or grey shirt
• School tie
• Black shoes (not trainers or Doc Martins)

In summer, a blue or white polo shirt (without a tie)  may be worn as an alternative to long sleeved shirts.

We have two stockists of our uniform, Monkhouse Limited, The Precinct, Cheadle Hulme or M.C.S. Stores at 220 – 222 Fog Lane, Didsbury.

Footwear

Children should wear clean sensible BLACK shoes for school.  Boots, trainers, Doc Martins, heels and open-toed sandals are not suitable.

P.E.Kits

Children require both an indoor and an outdoor P.E. kit

Oudoor kit – black or navy sweat shirt, white T-shirt with school logo, navy or black jogging pants/sports trousers, trainers

All P.E. kit to be stored in a drawstring bag. This kit bag with the school logo on it can be  purchased from the school office.

Jewellery

Only stud earrings are permitted but not encouraged. NO OTHER JEWELLERY e.g. rings, hoop earrings are permitted for safety reasons. Earrings should be taken out for P.E. days.

Hair

Hairstyles should be neat and tidy and promote our high standards of dress. Long hair should be tied back.

Children may be sent home to rectify unsuitable hair styles. There should be no extremes of style or colour e.g. no mohicans or hair shorter than a number 2 cut, and no words or patterns cut into the hair. Hair accessories should be discreet and in keeping with school colours.
