The Edward Betham CofE Primary SchoolSchool Uniform
The Edward Betham CofE Primary School is a school uniform school.
All children are expected to dress smartly for school and have the correct P.E. kit.
We place importance and value on our school uniform both as a mark of pride in the school and as positive identification within our local community. Our uniform promotes a sense of equality and belonging. We expect pupils to wear the correct uniform at all times during the school day, on school trips and when representing the school at extra-curricular events.
The school colours are red, grey and white.

Pupils with pierced ears may only wear plain gold stud earrings (one per ear lobe). Other forms of body piercing jewellery are not permitted.Parents/carers whose children are required to wear jewellery (e.g. bangle) for religious reasons should provide a note informing the school of this requirement.
All jewellery must be removed or secured for P.E. lessons.
Make-up
Pupils may not wear make-up to school including nail varnish on fingernails/toenails.
Hair
Long hair must be tied back throughout the school day. Hairbands should be simple (without attachments, e.g. no bows) and in school colours (red, grey, black). Pupils are not permitted to have markings shaved into haircuts nor have ‘extreme’ haircuts (e.g. mohicans).

Labelling items
Please ensure every item of your child’s clothing - including gloves and hats - is labelled with their name. This ensures items can be returned to their owner and saves time when getting ready to go outside. Why not try Stikins? These are multi-purpose stick-on name labels for clothes, shoes, lunchboxes, and other school items. Purchasing Stikins also raises money for our school (our fundraising number is 6653).
